The convergence problem was fixed by this and I see no reason a low voltage (50 PIV) 1N4001 silicon rectifier cannot replace those multiple mini-selenium units.

I am reminded of a simple rule with GE: fewer parts, usually better parts, fewer symptoms and no strange symptoms either. Now... back to some RCA chassis repairs to get back to normal.

A screen shot is needed and I'm doing burn-in on it this weekend. It is odd the electrolytic cans all were OK on my ESR tester and do not even get warm. In almost every RCA this vintage, there is at least one section needing a replacement. On my CTC11 RCA, all electrolytic caps were replaced, no exceptions.
