Hi Snaaake!

Where the colors distorted at parts of the tube or everywhere the same distortion? (e.g. one color missing? there are some pretty testpicture-programs out there that could help you with this)

If you switch your tv on (using the switch on the TV, not on the remote-control), degaussion should automatically appear, on most TV's you'll hear a loud sound when this happens. Very loud when it's a Sony. ;) The colors should then get right again. Also, color distortion are very likely to appear when you move the TV while it is currently running or was just running a few minutes ago. Best is to leave it out for at least 15-30 minutes, so there shouldn't such problems appear.

I've seen the permenant discoloration happen before but only when speakers or large magnets are involved.  Personally I will only work on a tv if it's face down.  It' keeps the heavy picture tube flat and stable and if by some reason I were to break the tube, the imploding glass won't bounce back and fly all over the room.

Yep, but that's nothing an external degaussion coil (like the one they sell at Happs or your local TV-man should have) couldn't fix!
