I did test the tubes a long time ago on my Hickok 6000A. I think I will do it again on my new B & K Precision 747. Oddly, I get color when the set wants to and when I do it is beautiful. It always seems to happen when I use a DVD/VCR combo and run the line E up a bit. Coincidence perhaps.
Old_coot88 mentioned the color killer adjustment. I am guite familiar with that adjustment. Worked with it last night and got the snow and color fringing. I backed off till that went away, and then a little more as some fringing was still there. The idea which follows common procedure is to shoot for the perfect black and white picture which I can achieve pretty much. Once I get the color actually working regularly I will go through the whole purity and convergence procedures using my vintage RCA dot bar generator.
