I did the color oscillator alignment on this set, as it was taking several minutes for the picture to come up in color (like my Philco was last year). It improved it, but I didn't really fix the problem until I swapped out the 6GH8 (which tested good - It seems that the 6GH8 in this particular circuit sometimes won't work right even if it's good, I've even had tubes work in one set, but not another). I also did the adjustment that centered the tint control - it had to be all the way to one side to get green. And so far I've repaired one of the speakers. Still haven't gotten a battery for the remote. I also need to adjust the vert linearity a bit, and touch up the convergence, which is actually pretty good except for the very left and right edges.
