On the convergence; I replaced the CRT in one of mine, by swapping in a better one from a CVM-3000. I left the yoke and neck apparatus in place, so no problem. I can't remember, but aren't the dynamic pots in the black metal cover below the aux controls on the front? I wish I had the alignment & setup manual on that set, but I never ordered it at the time. I do have it for other Sonys of that vintage, but it sounds like you got it set.

On the time being spent obsessed with a hobby item and your wife, I know all about that. Try explaining why you and your wife should get in a truck, and spend 10 days driving 6000 miles round trip, to get a 1200-lb air raid siren to install on your patio... Then spending days installing and wiring it up to the house .
