The swap looks like a double success, they are both now running with each other's crt & yokes. There was just the gray scale setup and that vertical height issue, one needed to be increased & the other reduced, and now they're good. The rejuvenated crt definitely doesn't have the focus of the one out of the CTC118 so I'm glad I took the chance. It's hard to explain but it's like there are halos around bright text, and the focus control gets rid of that, but at the expense of taking everything else out of focus.

I almost tried that, but decided to see if the crt swap would work. I actually felt more intimidated by trying to get the tuners swapped, but it worked out and was good experience. I'll keep the chassis out of it just in case, unless someone wants the whole set.
