The difference you will see will be determined almost
entirely by differences between the types of peaking coils used
to replace the nasty white ones that self-corrode. That makes huge differences.
I spent hours and hours getting the right coils to get the sharpest and least ringy color bars. I tried a couple of the ones specified as replacements in the manual, and they were disastrously wrong.
In my CT100, I rewound almost all of the peaking coils. It was surprisingly easy. And the frequency responses the exercise yielded resulted in an excellent ringing free picture.
