I've tested two other sets.

My 1980 Quasar which when i brought home had a bright red picture. I had adjusted the levels to get a equal grayscale. Now i just did a test on it, the meter in the emissions test went into the good, but than slowly went into about three quarters of the way into the bad. Now i tested each gun and all were equally in the same bad range. I've noticed that when testing 4 others, the meter barley moves (or not at all) when testing each gun. I did a manual restore and all three guns are now in the middle good. I did color tracking and both shorts and all are good. I plugged in the set and was thinking ok the tube was restored a little now, so now when i see the picture the colors will be off and I'll probably have to adjust the red, green and blue on the picture tube circuit board to equal to a rejuvenated tube. Tv came on and the pictured looked the same..


Set two is a portable 1978 Panasonic. Which also has the same problem with the color. This one i tried to adjust the equal the grayscale and can't. But the bright picture looks good on this set, but when i turn down the bright the picture becomes a blue tent. I just now tested the tube and everything is well into the good range.

Now question is? is my CR70 working right? or more than likely on the 70's and 80s model sets the circuits begin faltering most of the time and not the picture tube?
