(The '75 Sony KV-1723 & the "77 Zenith 17" are actually gone :-(. I only included their stories because of the similar symptoms.)

Sony tubes of this era always have the green lasting longest. Rejuvenation
never worked. It either ruined the CRT or they looked like crap again in
a few days. Zenith CRT's until the early 90's were tough. Most mid 70's
CRT's still work at near 100% when found. It was actually a mistake for
Zenith to make them that good. TV's were never intended to last 40-50 yrs.
Ten years at best.
When adjusting the Sony follow the same basic procedure. Dont forget to
turn off any auto-color switches. Be careful of the controls. The tool can
get stuck & cause damage. They are delicate compared to the Zenith
ones with nice knobs. Also dont expect a perfect pix, just some improvement.
