Problem with the Philips Magnavox 9P6034C 60 in. Rear Projection Television, had TV for 16 years. Picture gradually got darker and less clairity

Coolant in crts needs changed. May not be cost affective. You need special equipment and much skill. If you can find servicer that can do it ask them before you schedule the call for what thie wouls cost. I would charge around $350.00. Go view a new set at 1080i and it this set at it;s best is not even close.

If you have to replace one, they are very difficult to pull out and replace. You must do a convergence on the color of the tube you replace. You will be replacing a picture tube not a bulb. You may need to replace the fluid in the one tube. Or you may have a convergence problem. You need a TV tech to reveal that the problem is not a bad picture tube....which is rare in your case! Good Luck and thanks for asking!

Sounds like your regulator ic is about to go, not an expensive repair but you have a good thought about buying a new set. If your fluid has never been changed I bet it's due also. Give the choice serious thought.

the color in my tv is a little faded when theres dark scenes on cant really see picture. Red and Blue really fade into picture

Your CRT fluid needs to be replaced. After many years the crt cooling fluid gets a ton of alage built up in the tubes.  This will cause the screen to get a halo effect or get darker.

You only need to replace the fluid in the blue and green tubes. 

This is any easy fix. Goto www.magnavoxhelp.com to get a repair kit. Its a common problem on some of the older Magnavox projection TV sets.

I had the same exact same problem. You can get a repair kit from this site. http:///www.magnavoxhelp.com

coolant fluid on picture tube may be contaminated replace it an setbe ok (this is a technician job)

Your CRT coolant needs to be changed. Thats whats giving you the dim picture. You can also clean the projection mirror on the inside this often helps. But the coolant will need to be changed to get back the bright crisp picture. Hope this helps.

the lamps have to come out. the fluid has to be sucked out from the bottem.
