sound hooked up, and as I thought, I can't get it much better than shown in the last pics.
so now I have a choice :p
use the video amp and video injection and get retrace lines 40% of the time, or use tuner and get slight color ringing and no retrace lines.
until i can get it aligned anyway, I an not going to touch the other coils...
and on a unrelated note..
one thing I noticed about THIS TV anyway, i don't know CT16/XLs do this but, when I turn it off, as it powers off, there is this cute little "fwip " sound out of the speaker. it has always done this since I got it, I don't mind it, I have always wondered do they ALL do it or just mine?
