    So I havent played my Golden Tee Fore Cabinet in a while and just wanted to trouble shoot some things before I call in a tech or send it for repairs. The screen is mostly red. It doesnt seem to be a video cable issue as when unplugging the video cables, the screen is still bright red.

    Here are some pictures of various parts. Any helpful tips to try would be appreciated.

    Watching this topic with interest, because the SVGA multisync in my MAME machine just took a similar turn:

    Just an update, I left it on a little bit and it looks like some blue has come in, but it is still heavily red.

    You have a bad color driver on the board. Recap the entire board, and replace the driver. Cap kits are cheap, and the drivers are cheap also. Just discharge the damn thing before you go making love to the chassis.

    Sometimes the flyback will develope cracks and go out of focus after warming up. Not saying this is the issue here.

    As mentioned cap kit for sure. And resolder all the connection.

    As adept as I am with pinball repairs and other electronics, I have no experience repairing CRTs, and don't necessarily wish to learn.

    Anybody know someone in the MD/DC area that I could hire to fix it for me?

    Just to update, I took a deep breath and played with the 5 knobs on the board to the tube and got rid of the red tint. I couldn't dial in the perfect settings using a mirror, but for now I think it looks pretty good. Focus probably needs a slight adjustment and the black level could be better against the white background check, but overall glad it's back to normal. Just wish it would fit down my basement stairwell to get it out of the garage :/
