I can vouch for Sencore - I have an SG165 for AM/FM alignment and access to my dad's VA62 and SC61, both of which are spot on. The SG165 does require me to use a counter to verify settings.

RCA's test equipment for color sets used to be the cat's meow - rock solid, but only if left on 24/7. When CB's were popular, our tech could pick up the color burst freq from the RCA color alignment gen with only a short antenna on his freq counter.

I can count on two fingers the times I've had to align a color set. Both were out of alignment only because their owners had played with the IF cans. I have an SAE FM tuner I still can't get to tune a stereo signal at max signal strength. But it's fun to play with...

Cheers,
