Aligning a CT-100 to a perfect state with cheap equipment is possible. I've done it with
a cheap Eico sweeper and an old RCA signal generator. I set the marker frequencies
by watching them on my SDR.
I've also done and checked alignments using a broadband noise generator and that same SDR loosely (like 0.5 pF) coupled to the appropriate spot in the TV or radio. The noiee generator consists of a Zener diode and a one transistor emitter follower.
You just have to figure out how to use the equipment to sort of follow instructions
designed for other methods.
As I like to point out, that while the CT-100 has probably the best tube color TV IF response, there is at least one other TV that really truly is as good: the TRK-12.
Yes, you read that right.
