No ESP. Darndest thing though, i don't remember
ever seeing the xtal cause loss of sync. Of course that's been nearly 50 years ago, and xtals might go bad over time. Evidently yours didn't.
A couple of little tips worth bookmarking.. the reactance coil is the primary 'color sync' adjustment. To tell if the color osc. tube is weak (even if it shows "Good" on a tester), have the set running with a normal in-sync color picture. Shut the set off for maybe 5 to 10 seconds, and turn it back on. It should come on in sync. If it comes on with color bars and takes a while to lock in, the tube is weak.
The same test can show a weak horizontal osc tube too. Bill(oc)
