A great set you have...plenty of character!

My RCA CTC-15 had some goofiness in the color. It would be out of sync (barberpolling) which I could make better with adjustments but it wouldn't quite go away. I found that it would improve as the set played and after about 5 minutes it would lock. Each time I used the set it would lock a little bit quicker. Finally it would stay locked all the time and, knock wood, it hasn't given any trouble for quite some time now. I don't know...moisture built up in the coils that had to be "baked out"? Hard to come up with many ways something could cure itself.
