Does anyone know where the vertical pincushion coil adjustment is for this chassis? The top and bottom of the picture is bowed in a bit. Notice this with alot of older tube sets.

Edit: Figured it out. Pincushion correction and pin amp fixed it. Found a happy medium.

I know. That's next. Too bad I already had the tuner out cleaning it out and lubricating it and was considering swapping the bulb with the working UHF bulb.. But that would still be on my conscience. lol

I replaced 4 6GH8's. Video amps were bad. Crazy scrambled picture like when I was a kid trying to tune in the scrambled playboy channel on cable lol.

Played with convergence again tonight and I'm pretty sure its dialed in as good as I can get. Delta tubes are a real joy to converge.. Pun intended.

Align the blue left vertical, the right throws out, etc.. Almost as hard as the Sony KV3000R I have.

Also gotta say I'm very surprised that there is no PVA cataract on the CRT yet (knock on wood) for being a 4-1973 date code.


Hey does anyone know what the cathode current should be on a CTC39? 190ma possibly?
