I don't know if this would help, but the green gun in my Electrohome had drifted slightly out of balance with the others so I gave it a gentle jolt and brought it back up to snuff. It's been a couple of days and it still looks good. The picture had a slight yellowish tinge when I first started it but that quickly vanished.
