Thanks for the heads-up. Does this only apply to Sylvania sets of this era?

Edit: Another shocker: the CRT had very good emissions on all guns! However, it didn't do very well on the life test. I ran auto-restore and now it passes all tests with flying colors, and makes a nicer picture of course. My camera doesn't do it justice. Also, most of my TVs including this one seem to not like my free basic analog cable. Finally, the top of the picture is curved downward in full screen and letterbox presentations. It looks slightly uneven on the bottom as well.
