New crystal is in and I can see a bit of improvement. Still cant get color to lock. But I can faintly see color through the rolling bars. Black and white picture is perfect I just cant get this pesky color to lock. I have tried putting caps across the crystal but I cant seem to get the frequency below 3.57900 (with a cap across the crystal). Reading through Phil's article on his 4 reveals that a 100pf cap can be put across L142 I believe. This TV wants to produce color, it is so close! Should I add a cap across L142?
