Does it straighten up if you reduce the signal strength at the antenna input? (the 6T8 tube)? |
Thank you. That was all I needed to know because my set was flagging when the contrast was turned down. Something was backwards! M5 was backwards, eureka! I installed M5 correctly and made some adjustments and got what you see in the video below.

Just some audio tweaking and getting rid of retrace lines to go.
