it would sound like your convergence amp power board has failed at the shop we would replace then it would need a serviceman alignment

nbad convergence ic , this need to be done by a profecional tv tech , because need to check for the pico fuse and resistor around the area

rca t v r52wh73 the picture is bowed at the top and bottom also the colors red green and blue wont match together as one picture

the problem is the convergance and would need to have the amps replaced. may be some resistors as well. the repair may cost $350.00 or so. there is no bulb inside just three CRTs which are no longer available for your set.
