Well, speaking of convergence skills, I did a full setup on the Silvertone (my first ever attempt to converge a direct view CRT TV). I thought the picture was great to begin with, but after a few hours noticed the reds looked pinkish in one corner.

Did a purity adjustment, followed by full convergence. Purity is awesome now, nice beautiful even red everywhere except the cataract.

I got the convergence very very close, but either the blue "lateral" magnet is too weak (well, I tried two of them), or, the blue lateral and the convergence coil assembly is not positioned properly.

Convergence is about perfect all over the screen, except blue is maybe 0.5mm too far to the right, all over, and the adjustment is just outside the lateral magnet's range. Since I tried two magnets, I am starting to think the whole assembly is in the wrong position.

Does anyone have a photo of the coils and magnets on the back of a CTC15 pic tube, in their correct positions?
