Help! Is my Toshiba 57H81 screwed?

I've never had a problem with my Toshiba 57H81 CRT RPTV since I got it in October 2001. I know it's outdated, but it's been a great TV for me and my family.

Today, for some unknown reason, it appears my red gun got screwed up. Every image has a red offset. When did the touchfocus where it scans red, blue, and green lines both veritcally and horizontally, they all appeared to be ok but the red vertical line which did not move left and right. I'm guessing the red gun is either stuck or the control just doesn't work anymore in that direction.

Any advice how to fix it? What could have caused this? Do I have to call a repair man? What should a fix like this cost? I really don't want to throw down a couple G's for a new TV at this point in time. Thanks!

seriously? Well, I guess its worth a shot.

Well, I had it unplugged for an hour and plugged it back in. Still the same.

Any other thoughts?

Well, I called a TV repair man. Cost me $350, but it's working perfectly again.

My wife was home when he came, but he replaced all three of the alignment guns or something. She said he was soldering and replacing chips for an hour or so. It's been perfect since (knock on wood) and he said it should still last for at least 5-7 years more. Cost me $350 for the fix.
