When you grey scale these one of the bias controls should
be full CCW when done. In other words turn all 3 down
& use 2 of them to balance the grey scale.
The reason for the green tint & it being the control
full CCW is the green gun is the strongest.

Another CRT test you can do is a life test. Sometimes its
built in but if not turn off the filaments & watch how fast
the meters drop. Any that fall fast are not quite up to snuff.
If they all fall slowly & apx the same rate you are good.

Ahhh, so that's what you meant when you said that one had to be ccw. Great, now this TV looks really good.
Is it me or RCA red are a bit more orange than other brands?
