This is the guy right here. Looks to be under three years old according to the review dates.
Jay, you’re right - it has three guns. Wonder if it’s power supply - hmm.

Did they take your Tv to thier shop? THE most important thing when choosing a servicer and/or policy is get one that does in-home repair.
The red tube not working can be bad tube, bad IC on the crt pcb, or no red drive from the signal board/jungle chip. If they found a bad crt, they can certainly replace just one, but if the other two are aged/fading then they will never get the grayscale to set up correctly. A two year old set should not need all three replaced.
