Thanks for all your help; just maybe I can give a bit back.

An odd bit of information that's stuck in my mind since the 1970's. I think the effect of BIAS is similar to TINT and only works with NTSC, or as sometimes happened in the 1970's, cheap NTSC imports brought into the UK and modified to work with PAL.

Yep -cut affects the blacks, and drive affects the whites. Getting the blacks to be black and untinted by adjusting cut is most important.
Yes. When I bought the set (32" flatscreen CRT, for the equivalent of $35 I don't think I was robbed) it had a great picture on highly lit scenes but anything black showed up with a reddish tint. Taking red cut to absolute minimum has fixed it, but the man who told me how to do this also warned me that an adjustment that extreme indicated that the tube might be on its way out.
