I'll have to read the book again this evening, but if I recall correctly, I believe it said to flip the switch if the furthest position from chassis. I remember wondering if they meant from top or bottom of chassis O.o i left the switch in it's position when I received this set with switches all the way down position.
I wonder if these switches effect gun output if that could effect the life of the crt if not set correctly?

Kinne bias will absolutely affect life. It should be set to the dimmest position that will allow all 3 guns to produce lines during G2 set up.
Peaking not so much....it is basically a video trebble control. It changes the level of the high frequency portion of the video. Lead dress of the CRT socket wiring and differences in video chain tubes and alignment will affect high frequency video. Peaking is a compensation to allow fairly uniform video detail.
