I would try "walking" the sound cans a bit in one direction, and if tracking gets worse, 'walk' them in the other direction. 'Walking' each slug involves going only a tiny fraction of a turn at a time. |
I will definitely try your suggestion. Thank you! I really would rather NOT have to fool with the video strip again if I can help it, at least until I have access to an oscilloscope and signal generator.
I don't know if I ever mentioned that it took about 8 HOURS, over two days, to get the picture to where it is now, strictly going by eye. I'm definitely not enthusiastic about doing that again.
