Tuner never stabilized. It got alot worse. First, chls 4-13 quit, and, went to a raster. Then, chl 3 started cutting out. NOw, it's cutting in, and, out rapidly, and, no amount of cleaning is helping. I think the tuner's shot.
It took a week of looking at junk KCS-47 chassis's to locate a tuner that looks not too badly worn. I cleaned switches, and, such, and, last night, cleaned solder off terminal strip on the back, and, installed, soldered one piece of bare ground wire that grounds filaments to chassis.
When there is enough light I will remove old tuner, and, install new one.
Before tuner gave out, I had checked audio amp, which iis working great. I checked tv ph switch, also, and, it appears to work fine.
I removed the audio det. transformer, and, dismantled it, thinking it might have a broken slug. It didn't. I'll replace transformer. If still no sound, I'll look into audio I F transformer, and, sound take off from video....
But, first, I have to get a reliable tuner back in the set.

Vertical, hv, etc. are working fine. It's a little quirky, but, I can live with it.
After final adjustments are done, it will show a fine picture.
As it is now, it's mostly stable, no hv arcing, no corona.
Picture was actually nice.
