Starting to think that the delay line is not the issue here. I can get an OK crisp picture but only with the contrast, color,and brightness turned down pretty far. Only watchable in a dark room. I checked two of the pins on the 12BY7A video output tube (plate and screen grid) and found that both voltages on the pins are off. This must be an issue with a resistor in the 12BY7A portion of the board. I must note I wired in parallel two 1 uf film caps to create a 2uf cap to replace the electrolytic that was there. The schematic calls for a 2 uf cap but the one I removed was an 8 uf. I never found any production changes stating that a 8 uf should be used instead of a 2 uf. Maybe I should try an 8 uf?
