Adjusting the 4.5mc trap and then fine tuning again didn’t help much. Another symptom that may hint at the issue is the sharpness potentiometer has no effect. This may be unrelated to the smearing, or it may indicate a peaking coil or the tube is not correctly peaking at 3.58mhz. The chroma signal is output from the tube’s plate and luma is output from the tube’s cathode. There appears to be peaking coils on both cathode and plate.
