Aligning The Hickok 655

MY previous entry indicated the Hickok 655 is producing a marginally acceptable color bar pattern on both the 21CT55 and Sony. However the color bar waveforms indicate a total mess! The Hickok 655 has 19 pots and 6 switches that I "adjusted" by intuition. What is needed is the official Hickok 655 initial setup procedure. Surly this document must exist somewhere possible included in the instruction manual or in some member's memory? Anyone attempting a precise alignment of the two wideband RCA CTC2 CTC100 and CTC2B 21CT55 must be aware that precise setup of the color matrix requires a bar generator having both Q and I bars for the CT100 and both Q and B-Y bars for the 21CT55! Both RCA and SAMS procedures insist on using bar generators that provide 100% saturated R-Y, B-Y, "Q" and "I" video signals. The RCA WR-61A and the Hickok 600 series would be exceptable.
So, any suggestions how I can obtain this information would be appreciated.
