Mine is just like that only no UHF and it has a metal cabinet. It actually produced a BEAUTIFUL picture when I brought it home out of over 20 years dormancy. After some play time the color went black and white and I haven't touched it since. A good fellow here sent me a crystal that supposedly is known to go out and cause this. I know there are many other things that could cause it, but I hope the common issue is the one because I sure would like to see that beautiful picture again.
I have often thought it amazing the color quality that some of the early color sets produce. Mine also had what looked like some horizontal distortion on the far left side of the picture. I know that it really is screaming for caps and it would be worth it to do. I've never redone a color set and I am a bit skittish as there are so many things that must be adjusted or aligned; more so than the old black and whites sets. I don't have any of the alignment equipment and all of our TV shops are gone, so if I do the job, I will hopefully not have to mess with the convergence board and such and stick with the lytics and the paper caps in the horizontal and high voltage areas to begin with at least. Supposedly the HV and horizontal are the circuits to watch out for.
