The set looks red for the first 10 to 30 minutes then suddenly has a normal picture. As if the green bulb isn't working and then kicks on???

So the set warms up and then runs fine .... Soder point???? if so, where?

Is this an economical to fix problem?

What is the problem.

Thanks,

Richard

Seeing that this puppy is 12 yrs old, it needs to be serviced. The light guns probably need replacing, along with some possible solder joints and/or boards.

A typical service call to your home will start at $75 or so. Off the top of my head, I would say a $250-300 repair.
