Well, I got started.
Chad, thanks for the assistance. I attempted to do some static convergence last night and it sort of worked. I neglected to refer to your instructions and so did it with the color up instead of down. Still, it looks a little better; "regular" TV still looks messed up, but Bugs Bunny looked pretty good!
The edges (top and bottom at least) are still way off. Just for the hell of it, I started messing with the knobs on the convergence board and it didn't seem to do anything at all. Hmmm.
I got the SAMS for the set but it's less than helpful. Apparently, there's some vertical linearity control (R113), but damned if I can find it. Due to a lack of knowledge, I sorta assumed that the R meant "resistor", but all the knobs are listed as R-something, so what do I know? I messed with one of the unlabeled knobs and it turns out to have something to do with vertical hold--sort of makes the picture roll then turns it into a narrow white line.
Sound is still icky. It starts off not too bad but seems to get worse as the set runs. Then is sort of gets a little better, then worse. I managed to find the quadrature coil. If memory serves, there's something in the SAMS about adjusting it (and maybe some others) but I'm not sure how to go about it. What kind of tool do I use?
Is this one of those situations where I should buy some piece of test equipment to get the job done? I'd really like to get the set going well enough to use as I already have some dough invested in it.
Thanks again for helping!
Bob (who hasn't fried himself yet, but it's probably imminent...)
