It is fixable. I've had blue lines. If you take the whole front speaker grill cover, there is a Red, Green, Blue potentiometers that can be adjusted.

Sounds like a conergence circuit failure, probably a couple of AMPs and a few discreet components. Probably 250-300 repair

I have a rear projection Sony 52 " about 10 years old. The picture is good but there are blue curved lines.

The blue CRT is getting bad, you can try turning down the Blue CRT drive control slightly which may slow the progression down some, but eventually the Blue CRT will need to be replaced

Sony KP-51WS500 projection tv. Screen is green with curved lines

The green picture tube has an internal short. Happened a lot with that model. The tubes are no longer availible. But a reputable company called Video Display will rebuild the tube completely. But the tube must be pulled and shipped to them. Most repair shops would charge around $400 to $500 for the complete job.

Sony rear projection screen is red then tv shuts off

Can be 1 of 2 things. 1st the red tube just needs the voltage to it turned down. In the front of TV (you have to remove the lower front half of TV to access it) is a plastic square with 6 knobs. The from left to right top knobs control focus for blue,green red. The bottom knobs control voltage to each tube in same order (so lower right knob for red) turn SLOWLY to left to reduce voltage until excessive red and lines go away. If you over turn left or right set will turn off. If that does not fix it or if lines reappear then option 2 is that red picture tube is failing outright and needs replacement.

Sony kP-57ws500 picture is distorted not right

It calls convergence problem due to failure of convergence output ICs.
If you want to repair it at your own, let me know if you have basic electronics knowledge and little experience to guide you more.
