CRT TV Question

[Console User]

So I have been noticing on my 1998 RCA Console Set that when it is first powered on the picture on the screen is very blurry, and smooth looking. If you wait just a minute or so it clears up and the picture looks good. It also seems to have a bit of too much red in the grey scale until it's been on for awhile. I am wondering if this is just signs of the CRT/Picture Tube beginning to shows signs of wear and age? I would be interested in hearing what the Experts have to say.

It has the famous CTC 177AM2 Chassis.


Thanks.
