Thanks for the tip on those sockets, I've had a few intermittent IF stages on Zenith sets before and now if they do it again I'll spay 'em. This one just took patience, once I replaced those bad tubes, it made it so I had to readjust everything mentioned. It was frustrating me so I started this thread, then fixed it myself, sometimes I just need to take a break and come back later. The picture is better now than it ever was before. It now makes gold and yellow properly too. Before, those two colors could not be properly obtained and there was some "noise" in the picture that would not go away. I will do the cold start test today after work, I hope it don't go all crazy again. If it does, I'll spray those sockets. I also know what to do with bad tuners now, thanks.
