A classic case of unwanted magnetization. Assuming that the
internal degauss coil is not sufficient to clear this problem (or is
completely inoperative), the solution is to get thee to a degauss
coil. Any TV repair shop should have one.

Bob's probably right... Unless you have put some new (and not well

Or maybe it got dropped on its face??? I would not have believed it, but
that actually
happened to my daughter - and it really messes up the color purity - *THAT*
issue can
not be fixed by degaussing because it results from physical shift of either
the yoke or
the shadow mask.
