GREAT! Moving the convergence clover back along with the yoke allowed me better purity adjustment. Not having a true technicians degaussing coil, I just got out my Weller soldering gun and used it like a coil. The trick worked great! I'm a bit embarrassed as to worrying so much about positioning my convergence clover perfectly. I have learned through trial and error that indeed we often need a pointer, but sometimes ya just gotta jump in there and see what things do.

If you are a tech or minded as such, then you know to mark and or document in some way the way things were before you moved or adjusted this or that. Our training or experience taught us not to go 'tweaking' this or that until you have reviewed some technical data and at least have a rudimentary understanding of what a device, circuit or adjustment of either will or does do. And when in doubt, ask a question. I don't know what it is with some of us, but we would rather noodle with a $10K piece of equipment and sometimes ruin it than to simply say I don't know for sure what is going on with this, anyone got some advice. Geez!

I saw that enough in the work place to not want to be 'that guy' and it's why I don't mind asking things that may sound ridiculous to some of the seasoned veterans of the golden era of electronics. I work on high dollar automation every day, but I need help sometimes with REAL electronics that's decades old. Having this place to gather that pool of knowledge is invaluable and a blessing. Thanks again to ALL here who have helped.

I thought someone might enjoy tonight's screen shot of Cream's reunion show at the Royal Albert Hall a few years ago. Ironically, it's where they did their "farewell" jaw dropping final performance back in 1968. I tell ya, audiences of today may as well be dead people compared to the crowd in 1968. The band more or less holds it's own to be the age they are now. Great DVD if your into Blues/Jam/Rock. They were their own unique genre.....
