Thanks much for the suggestion. I've got the schematic for the set, and convergence board. I must admit, I am more "handy" with stuff like replacing parts, but soldering, etc. isn't my top skill set. Do you or does anyone else know of a place which will go through an item like a convergence board and replace what's needed? The purity is perfect, and the tube is only 6 months old - just those pesky convergence lines...was hoping to get the set finally in 100% top form. In retrospect, I think this has been coming on for a while because before the control for the blue left hand side horizontal lines didn't have much adjustment, while the coil which takes the allen wrench like tool had a lot of adjustment - like things were on the way out. Also, the RCA factory manual for the CTC-44A chassis differ from the rest in the book in that you set static convergence first like usual, then do the dynamic convergence adjustments, then you are supposed to reconverge the center of the screen with the static adjustments again, and make any minor touch-ups w/ the controls - not static, then dynamic then done - sort of weird...
