So if I leave it (killer) on and when everything is as it should be, the snow will more or less go away. I had assumed that not to be the case and setting it too high would be about like setting AGC too high. I fully admit more or less being fairly new to troubleshooting vintage color television beyond that of normal static convergence and other setup procedures.

This is the only vintage color set in my ever smaller TV collection (due to space and sanity). My primary interests have always been in earlier black and white sets and radios. I have owned a number of round tube color sets back when they were available very cheap and made great daily use sets. So bringing one back from decades of dormancy is new to me.

Thank God for the incredible pool of great people and knowledge here at VK to pass along what I as an electronics professional consider a lost art in the field that will vanish if not somehow kept alive. These days there are 'techs' who can barely read a meter; and I mean DIGITAL! They could care less about Ohm's Law, Kirchoff's Law,etc. To avoid a rant I will end this now as I must or that is what it will become.
