OK, that sounds reasonable. I will try moving the yoke back as you said and see what happens. I don't have a degaussing coil, so I may as well try whatever I can. Those weak tubes I feel still have me waiting a long time for color, but at least I know that it will usually come in.
I have an RCA WR-64A color dot bar generator that I hooked up just for the heck of it and the thing worked for a few minutes and then my sync started going whacky. So I put it on my daily watcher and the same thing happened, which to me was good as it told me that it wasn't some issue with my old Zenith. I smacked it on the side (generator) and the sync problem went away. SO, I probably need to clean up some tube pins and sockets and I will have that rather handy unit ready.
Never a dull moment in this saga! BTW, I know they make DVDs now for alignment. I'm sort of a fan of vintage test/setup equipment and it was a gift, so I may as well put it to use.
