Thanks, Pete. It appears the Philco has a similar video response. I'd be curious to know how sharp the picture looks on your set.

I have attached the Bandpass Alignment page from the CTC5 Supplemental Notes. Actually the swept video response check on the notes looks flat to about 2.5MHz and the drops to -6dB at 3MHz. The response then appears to dwindle off to a minimum at 3.58 MHz.

I suppose the concern is the picture looks too soft to me. I plan to sweep the video response of my CTC5 to see if it matches the notes. I suppose it had crossed my mind that perhaps others had noticed the soft picture and that it may be attributed to a bad delay line or perhaps bad peaking coils.
