So, it looks like aside from getting the IF aligned at some future date, it looks like I have done all I can for the set now.
Perhaps work on the cabinet a bit, but I'm not very good at that. :/
I have run it for over 3+ hours now w/o problems with chassis out, about time to stick it all in and do fine convergence on it.
Which brings up a slight annoyance problem, over the years and years in storage, the knobs for volume / on-off and brightness were lost,
all others are still there, not sure what to replace them with.
They don't have to be EXACT, they just have to work.. :/
