Channels 3 and 4 were never used around here, but now they are the only two choices. It is obliviously a matter of alignment which many of us are smart enough to stay away from. I am hoping that someone who does understand this condition and/or is familiar with these sets (one piece chassis) can point me to the right place to perhaps touch this up. It can't be off by much, so I assume that there is a coil somewhere that I can carefully adjust to bring the best sound over the best picture.
I have similar problems with all of my vintage sets when I use the converters. I have three, so it's not the box. Thanks folks!

What make of converter are you using?
Magnavox is one, that doesn't seem to work very well, on certain sets, even the newer, solid state sets. I generally use the audio-video outputs on them.
A strong possibility is the oscillator slug on the Philco set might need readjusting. It depends how well the fine tuning works.
