I was finally able to do the IF alignment after dealing with stuck and chipped cores and two transformers with broken wires. I think I got a pretty passable response after a lot of iteration. Hopefully the color will look and sync better now. I will need to order more capacitors so I can replace the remaining paper wax capacitors still being used. Also I will need to check out the horizontal oscillator since it starts becoming flaky after being on for a while, shifting frequency a bit then back again. I need to build a 3.58MHz crystal oscillator for aligning the demodulator section. That way I should be able to set up the 90 degree phase shift using a dual trace scope and be sure it's correct before installing the CRT to the chassis. That is the pain in the rear about this set... the CRT has to be removed from the chassis to do much of anything with it beyond normal adjustments.
