Nice in that you can do the static with pots (if they are still good) from the front of the chassis, but seems like it would go out of static as the tube aged.
Yep, gonna redo the setup this weekend. Think I get better each time as I keep re-reading the service literature and understand what I am doing more each time.

Degauss
Purity
Convergence

Learning as I go. I was looking for the convergence cluster adjustable magnets and then realized the CTC-5 convergence is done mostly with the controls on the front. Except for the blue lateral magnet on CRT neck. Thought I was missing something when I saw a lot of other early color sets with these adjustable magnets on the convergence cluster. It's a slow, steady, learning experience that's for sure. But fun!
