The set is back together and working! The picture is pretty good with good brightness and contrast control. After running it for a half-hour or so, the verticle rolls occasionally. The verticle hold is already at one of the stops, so I can't adjust it out. I'll have to go thru the verticle section with a fine tooth comb.

As far as the sound goes, it's both good and bad. The speaker and tube selection has a good sound to it. However, there's an annoying buzz that get's really bad when text comes on the screen. Watching the temperatures on the weather forecast was really buzzy! I've tried getting rid of it with the fine tuner, but that's not making much difference.

When you change the channel, a switch cuts the screen and sound off, so as the channels roll by, the screen is black and no sound. As soon as the tuner motor stops, the raster, video, and sound come back on. I thought that was kinda neat.
