Zenith sy3581dt Retrace lines

Hi, I've recently aquired an old 1996 Zenith sy3581dt 37" TV. When i got it it had a completely black picture. With some finagaling I've managed to get the picture going with decent clearity. However, there are still some issues. The set had greenish retrace lines going through it. They aren't visible in the brighter scenes, but when the screen darkens they can be seen. Also, there is a yellowish tinge to some of the pictures. Yellow tinge is included in the menu. What might cuz the retrace lines and the yellowish tint? I've tried test patterns on the set and all the primary colors show up brightly(red green blue) so i'm pretty sure the electron gun is working correctly. I'm not much of a TV guru, but i am not a noob when it comes to electronics. Is it possible that anything can be done for this set? Thanks in advance for your time.

You'd be best posting your query to a forum on your side of the pond such as here
