RCA CTC-5 Deluxe "Whitby"

Purchased this off craigslist from the original home in Grosse Point Farms, MI.
Very clean set with the original 21AXP22A. No high voltage when purchased...seller said he "turned it on and only got sound". The chassis looked completely original with no replacement caps or service. The last RCA service tag is dated 1964 and has the same address I bought the set from. No service info was written on the tag, was there a preventative service club or something back then? The chassis now has all new paper and filter caps, a few resistor replacements and 2 or 3 tubes needed to be changed. It's working now but has a few convergence issues to work out. i've never had luck with convergence but hope to get this one better someday. I'll post many photos of it's current condition. please tell me if it's acceptable or close enough. Looks fairly good to my untrained eye.
Thanks for any thoughts.
Jim
