There were a few mylar? caps in these Maggies in either
the burst or 3.58 osc that went BUT IIRC it gave bad tint range or
barber pole color.
For now turn the color killer off & be sure the tuner isnt drifting.
Also sometimes there are 2 AFT switches. One often part of the auto
color AKA brownilator & a separate one. Both have to be OFF to properly
fine tune the station.
To test for drift turn all AFT OFF then FT the set so you still get the
channel but it starts to just get wormy & bendy. Watch it like that
for a few hrs & see if it changes. You can also get AFT drift but its rare.
Just leave the aft OFF to fix that.

For a source IF YOU DARE get a low power (10W) translator for a blank channel. If you are high up it will cover your town & much father
LOS.
