Your tv is a CRT projection one which means that the image is generated by three separate tubes. If in the image that you see all those extra images are coloured differently then the convergence is faulty and for that to be fixed the convergence board must be tested - this is a job for a professional. If the image looks normally apart the doubling then this is caused by a malformed signal. If you're lucky it's just a problem with the cables that are plugged in your tv - just fix them better (or replace them) and it should be enough. If you're unlucky the problem is inside the tuner and, since it can't be fixed, it must be replaced. Again this is a job for a pro.
Since the images have different colours then it's surely a convergence problem. It might be adjusted from the convergence setting from the menu but it doubt it - it has come too suddenly not to be a fault in the convergence board.
Depending on the extent of the damage the part will cost at least $25 up to at most $150 (the entire convergence board is replaced). The labor costs and all the rest - that depends on where you live and who do you call.

Thank you. Other than having three different colored images within close proximity, the picture looks fine. I had already switched out the cables on the back of the tv but there was no change in picture quality. From what I'm reading, clarify if I'm wrong, you might think that it could be the convergence or the tuner!
One more thing! Would you have any idea how much I could expect to pay for such a repair. I had called a couple repairmen and they said it would be about $85 service call and would credit the service call toward the repair.
