(1) I can't disagree; it's an important skill. But I also think divide-and-conquer troubleshooting is an important tool. Eliminating the RF-IF and detector in this case would neutralize many possible failure points.

(2) In defense of the adapter, before building my first adapter for a CT-100, I reasoned that it was not distorting history because it was RCA who, at the infancy of color television, designed built, and used them.

(3) Phil, I do not have the skill set needed to mathematically determine the missing LC values from CTC4 alignment procedures and the circuit, but I'm hopeful it can be done.

(4) Thanks for the info Tim.

Pete
