I gotta agree with Phil here-- I wouldn't expect to get absolutely *perfect* convergence on an early color set no matter what you do or what you replace. Try to get it as good as you can, but don't expect perfection. This was a common comment/criticism even in _Consumer Reports_ reviews on color sets through the 50's. Convergence generally improved with each generation though. At least the CTC-7 can't be as tricky in that regard as the CTC-5, which still had a metal-coned CRT and needed those edge purity magnet adjustments, along with DC static convergence that tends to drift according to line voltage. Anyway, have fun, but don't feel bad-- I doubt even the RCA service folks could get these things totally perfect.
