The realignment is more complicated on these sets and you'll need a good sweep generator and accurate marker to do it right. Split sound sets like the 630 require the job to be done right because of the audio video tracking when tuning. Split sound sets are tuned for best sound and not picture.
When aligned correctly the picture quality is the best on RCA sets. No expense was spared. But patience and perseverance will now be required to bring the alignment back.

RCA didn't succumb to cost cutting! It was high time, they incorporated intercarrier audio. Everyone else was using it!
Good old Davey, didn't want to pay Motorola the royalties. He just liked collecting them.
I have to get back to my 621TS, haven't touched it in months!
