This may sound daft but it did cure the faded-to-one-side effect.

Back in the late 90's a Mitsubishi set came in, identical fault as your Hitachi ... very long story cut short, the set had a factory 'mod' using a link-wire and hot glue to secure the middle section of the 'mod' wire.

The glue was on the track-side of the PCB, across the video/RGB IC ... The glue was conductive.

Removing the glue, the TV was cured. Worth a look(?)

Let's hope the aroma from your set is 'the oldness wearing off'
