Convergence I remember as no problem.

He liked color so much that when the 21CT55 came out he bought one.
In Ft. Worth we had the big advantage that all local programs
were in color, right from day 1. And there were lots of studio
productions. On the 21CT55 they looked fine too. I've told this story before.
Oh but did I mention he was 1/2 mile from the transmitter?

Hey Doug,

I bet your Uncle viewed this station break slide on his new 21CT55 back in late '54.

Wow, what a nice set. the linearity of that test pattern is superb.. this set is older than my father!
I know the feeling of hearing, 'we're sitting down to dinner!' and all you want to do is just finish the damn thing already. BTW, I've seen CRT sets from the 1990s which had awfully misadjusted convergence. I have battled crt set-up on mostly rectangular sets and it really is a pain.
From one Tom to another, excellent job

Wow what an accomplishment! Boy I'd love to come see your set in person someday. I believe I work in the same town as you. We might even be working for the same employer. I don't have the ability to collect and restore televisions since all of my time and space is taken up with 35mm movie and projector collecting. I "collect and restore" sets vicariously on this board through reading everyones posts and stories here. Congratulations on your remarkable achievement! -Sean

Well, maybe on the loaner. It was months later that he got the 21 incher.
