CTC 12 Chroma alignment

[blue_lateral]

I'll scan the instructions and put them up or PM them to you as soon as I can. I probably can't do it until tomorrow evening.

Do you have alignment equipment? What kind?

There are a bazillion pitfalls here, and since I have fallen into nearly all of them myself.....

The AFPC part can be done without anything fancy.That may fix it. Everything else needs sweep and a scope. I wouldn't touch the chroma takeoff coil or the chroma bandpass transformer without all the stuff hooked up.

Have any parts been changed that would screw up the IF alignment? The Chroma alignment depends on that heavily. If you haven't checked the IF alignment, I would start there. I also had a bunch of gassy tubes in the IF strip. Also, one of the 6gh8's was shorted. One of my new ones was bad out of the box.

I have talked to Len also, on Charles' recommendation. He had some really good advice, but I got sidetracked and never quite finished the job, because the HV went away, and then my life got really busy... You should probably talk to him.

I have done the IF and Chroma bandpass stuff so many times I could probably do it in my sleep. Better luck to you.
