Well unfortunately the video IF was already screwed up on this thing before I even touched it, as all three Video IF Coils adjustments were backed out to the point that they were almost completely out of their cores, so my fiddling with it really didn't make it much worse than it already was.

So unfortunately this TV (unless someone can loan me the right tools to do it right) may just never work correctly like it did when it was brand new.
