Do you mean the picture tube?
What's the problem with the TV?
The picture tube is not cheap and no longer available, it is more than buying a new TV

SOURCE: Initially No Picture when Turned on but sound normal and 5 minutes later Picture is all RED and then Picture becomes NORMAL (all normal colors)

theres a high voltage block that all three of the anode leads attach to and sometimes a small crack happens across this block and will not let some or all of the crt's get the high voltage all at once untill it heats up a bit. now if this is not your problem i would make sure that all three crt sockets are attached to there tubes all the way as maybe justy maybe there loose and will only work after ther expand a bit. Now another problem that could cause this problem to occor origially would be that someone left off a crt ground strap and the crt arched and popped and caused the problem with the High voltage block. And no I cant see a tube being bad then comming on at first UNLESS when you say the red comes on is the picture all red with small retrace lines(small white lines)in the screen with no picture except for red???? No video only a red blank screen is what i mean. If thats what its doing then yes Ive seen heater to cathode shorts on a picture tube that would cause this problem but to be sure your really gonna need to have the set looked at.. Good Luck

Check for smooth,accurate adjust of RGB focus located up front behind speaker grill.If jumpy or inaccurate,replace RGB adust block.If that is not the cure,you may have bad CRT(s).

suspect the optical engine as the culprit. they can gather dust contamination internally and cause a "faded or washed out pic"

SOURCE: RCA r56wh78 rear projection screen is blurry

I have the same model and the same problem - the picture just started getting slightly blurry, and moving objects get sort of grainy and jagged around the edges. I'd like to try the flyback adjustment you mention, but I have no idea what to look for. Is there a guide or reference that could help with this stuff? Schematics?

RCA 20F424T - 20" CRT TV Screen shrinks and expands - may or may not correct itself after the TV warms up. Also the TV is blurry

Fault with the main power supply regulator section circuit. Check and replace damaged component/s at its main power regulator [SMPS] section circuit. Contact any service technician. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Surf the site with patience. Pull up older posts.

My 20" rca 20f424t cuts

That sucks about your tv. Mine just turned 3 years old. Never had a problem with it. But you seriously can't expect wal-mart to take back and exchange a 3 year old tv. Come on. That would be stupid for walmart to do. Even RCA prolly dosent do more than a 1 year warranty. Unless you purchased the warranty from walmart, it will be cheaper to just get a 19 inch lcd tv now. Cheapest I see them on sale for is only $99.99

TV turns its self on and off

Greetings. I had the same problem with my 29" RCA, and it was easy to repair. I opened the back cover of my tv and just disconected the two wires cable that connect with the upper controler (volume, chanels, etc); and now it is working OK; but I must operate the tv only with the remote controler.

I hope this could help you.

German.

Blurry picture

If the power to the tv was on when the power came back on it may have caused a power surge through the tv and could have knocked the allinment of the colour tubes out a bit you could try to reallin them via small screws on the colour tubes but you need the tv on an it can be difficult.

There is a good possibility your tv has a bad picture tube,the fact that is blurry and the age point to that conclusion,you should invest in a new television and prevent the waste of money on this one.

Blurry tv

Sounds like theres a leaky capacitor in the screen drive circuit. I have seen this problem also be a gassy crt but was able to clean off the grids of the CRT with a crt/rejuvinator. It happens because of low emmissions in the tube and when white is on thats a mix of all the colors, so the tube works harder. I bet when you whatch a movie and the scene changes suddenly to a white or brite scene the pic looks a little washed out. If this is not the case then I aggree with the Pravin and try it on another TV just to be sure .. This is not a repair for a consumer to do, though however it is only a three year old set you stated, so there should be life left in the tube, so im kinda thinking a capacitor is bad. Seek out a yechnician to check this out for you as a TV is not a place to see it you can fix it or to exoeeriment with. Good Luck
