As long as the color CRT red gun is still working, it shouldn't be
hard to fix.

You just need to find out where the interruption in the red signal
path occurs.  It might be as simple as a broken connection but no
worse than a dead transistor.  It certainly won't be an expensive
fix--as long as the CRT red gun is working.

There are "background level" controls for each gun--like separate
'brightness' controls.  That control may need adjusting, or it may
be intermittent or open.  In any case twisting it a bit may do the
job.

Use an insulated screwdriver to adjust the pot(s) and don't bang
on the neck of the CRT.  Stay away from the high voltage connection
on the bell of the CRT.
