The oscillator crystal under the chassis could be bad (cheap and easy to replace).

Even after replacing the above parts, you may still need to adjust the fine tuner to get a color lock.
Charlie, can u post a tube diagram layout, i followed the tubes that were in there, as most of the paper was ripped off the hv tower

I don't trust what was installed, maybe somebody made a mistake previously.


I seem to recall 2 6gh8, they both tested ok


also, what chassis is this?
