Thanks. Yeah, I don't mind a really light tint anyway, even if I can't fix it. But boy, if you google "yellow tint crt", basically every Q/A on the subject immediately goes to "buy a new one, yours is about to die". Not to mention, trying to fix a CRT carries the risk of death by electrocution or flying glass.
The seller posted a picture of the set displaying a white screen, but probably due to the camera it's impossible to see the actual yellowing. Maybe that means it's not too far gone?
EDIT: I got a reply. He said a few things. The yellowing is consistent across the screen. It appeared suddenly. In order from lightest to darkest, the TV has Dynamic, Standard, Living Room and AV Pro settings, and Living Room looks the least yellow. He has made no attempts to fix it. He was using composite video only. I asked him to turn down the color all the way to see if the effect still happened with a black and white picture, but he didn't know how to do it. In my reply, I asked him if the effect is constant or if it comes and goes. Is there anything else I should ask him? The auction ends tomorrow night.
We'll see. I sure don't relish the thought of a 100-dollar 200-pound bathtub-sized lemon coming my way.
