Please Help -- Zenith Z27X74W Color Problem

Hello all. Our family has a Zenith Z27X74W 27" Traditional Console Model that
has started giving color problems. The Serial No. is 781-42431188 and it was
manufactured in October 1997. Our family has always bought Zenith's as far as a
living room television, although I'm a tried and true Panasonic fan for
everything, and it used to be, that Zenith's were very stout TV's, but this is
the second one in the 90's that we've bought, and we realize that they're junk
now. But anyhow, what's happening with it. It's a yellow tint most all the
time, unless something bright and blue comes on and then it seems too bluish.
Judging from what I've read on here, it seems like the common Zenith picture
tube failure warning signs, but I wanted to make sure by asking you all if you
knew what it was, and if there's any use in fixing it.

I would really appreciate any help you all could give. :-)

Thanks,
Tommy

Probably a defective picture tube, very common in the GoldStar/Zenith Teles
of that vintage. Have it professionally diagnosed then buy another set. .

See my other post response to a Zenith regarding other possibilities
as 1997 was right at the end of the really bad Zenith tubes.

Q5104 leaky can make it look like a bad tube, Video pre-drivers near
jungle ic, resistors on crt pcb, plus the possibility of a bad crt.
Only proper troubleshooting and checking can confirm or deny a tube.

I replaced the main module on my 27 Zenith and it works fine now.
My daughter won;t give it up.
I, unfortunately, purchased a new tube first.
You can call Zenith and they will send parts at a very reasonable
price.
