Color Problems.
Here is a guideline in which this handbook will follow:
When there is a missing color and the lines are white the problem lies in the video
interface section. This means it can be found between the customers game and pin 8 of
the Video Amplifier (K-Film). If the lines are not white it would be a output problem,
which is anything after pin 8 to the picture tube.
A helpful hint when working with color problems is by identifying the
color of the three grid lines at the top of the screen.
If the problem is excessive blue, green, or red background color,
tap on related K-film to see if it is defective.
If blue is the problem, check for damaged traces around the outside of
the video board, since most of these traces go to the blue K-film.
If monitor shuts down due to excessive color, disconnect the filament for
voltage tests. (Desolder CRT socket pin 9.)

Color may be tested by connecting a clip
lead to GND and a 1.62KΩ resistor.
Contact the resistor to K-Film pin 1.
