Color circuitry is a bit weird comparatively, it uses a variable capacitor for tint control rather than a pot.
Alignment of the set can be a challenge, as someone here with the same chassis has found.
Over all, it works very well when it wants to behave! :P
I prefer RCA's approach like was used in my Hoffman Colorcaster Television, which is more or less a modded CTC-17, but as others have said, this set (chassis) is one of Magnavox's best sets of the era.
