Convergence issues.
I have tried to get good convergence on my 16 and have failed miserably. I've been using a VCD I made up of color bars, crosshatch and an indian head test pattern (different from the one on Chuck Pharis's site). For the most part, I can get center decent. Top and bottom are also decent, but left and right R/G vertical lines don't come close. It's throwing a bunch of other stuff off. I can't see the misalignment that well with the crosshatch, but I sure can see on regular broadcast. I am going to replace the selenium pack with silicon diodes (might solve the problem). I placed the convergence yoke, putiry rings and blue lateral magnet back on the tube according to the clean areas on the neck (I didn't clean the tube off when I swapped out the cabinet).
What is the exact placement of the elements on a 21FJP? I have experimented with different positions and have it "almost right". When I went to adjust purity, turning the rings actually threw the convergence off. So, in addition to rotten convergence, I also have rotten purity. I know I sound like a total idiot, but I never could get a decent convergence on any color set I ever had. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Here is a chart showing the placement of the components on the neck of the picture tube. Steve |

Thank you, Steve. This will help immensely. I'll resume work tomorrow. Right now... it's Miller Time.

Got It!
I did what the pic said and finally got decent convergence. It's not perfect, but it's very viewable. For your entertainment, here's a pic of Meathead calling Archie names.

As much as I love old Roundies, the Sony Trinitron sure was a blessing...

Nice job! With a little practice convergence gets a lot easier. There was a time I could converge a set by watching an off air show with the color turned down. That was a long time ago though and at the time I only worked on Zeniths. Steve: A Sony Trinitron? Still not as good as my CT-100! Steve |

And not as cute as your old B&W set (now mine..)
Sorry for the digress, back to convergence!

In my experience with roundies (while working at an independent tv shop in the late '60s), the CTC-16 was the least likely chassis to obtain good convergence, especially on the right side. No matter what. Good job!

Thank you all. I am calling this finished for now. When i switched cabinets, I never looked to see if the screws for the tuner mount were there. I have to go north and swipe the ones from the other bezel. For now, I have to change channels from the back. With all the feedback I have recieved about the cabinet, I have decided to keep it, despite the bad areas. I will keep the other and if i find another 16, I'll use it.
I will post a finished picture as soon as I can get what I need.
