Tint's not really an issue here, even in the analogue days few if any sets had a tint control on the front. All U.K. TV stations have switched to digital only, but the DVD player is a combined DVD/VCR. I'll try tonight; see if there's any effect on video tape.
We had a first generation broadcast set made in 1966. (not working when we bought it for £15). Dual standard, 405 line VHF, 625 line UHF. Valve driven. Colour and tint controls at the back. Take the back off and the first thing you see is a very large metal can with a radiation symbol.
Full convergence controls were at the front under a cover. With careful adjustment it could be set up nicely. Problem was that it drifted and I think a lot of the controls were wire wound, felt rough when adjusted.
After catching fire for the third time my wife insisted that it went, so it went. She had a point. Now it's in a museum. Perhaps we should have hung onto it but then again, perhaps not.
