Have you tried doing the white balance setup from step 1? My old method is:

1) Color, Brightness, Contrast all at Minimum

2) G2 (aka SCREEN) pots Min

3) G1 (aka DRIVE) pots centered

4) CRT Bias (if it has one; either a switch or a pot) Middle

5) Service switch to Service

5 1/2) If there is a line now with no G2 turned up, you have the BIAS too high. Turn it down to have no line at this time.

6) Turn each G2 (aka Screen) up, one at a time, and see that it makes its color line. return each to Minimum as you go. If one or more does NOT, then turn the Bias pot or switch up, and try again.

7) Assuming that each of the G2 pots will give you a line, now turn each G2 carefully to where you get a BARELY visible WHITE line (all 3 colors the same brightness so it makes white)

8) Set the Service switch back to normal, turn the Bright, Contrast up to normal and see how it looks. If in the DARK areas of the picture it is too tinted, VERY SLIGHTLY adjust the G2 pots for best gray in the dark areas. If the brighter areas (whites) are tinted, then use the G1 (DRIVE) pots to correct that.

Anyway, that's my method to get it in the ballpark. The OFFICIAL procedure for white balance slighly varies from mfr to mfr.

This procedure does NOT apply to newer inline TVs, as many (especially Sony TVs and all Projection TVs) can get CRT damage if the setup is done differently from the exact book procedure for that TV!
