On mine I noticed that when I would adjust the height and linearity adjustments the screen would go really dark especially towards the top and also something seems to be off with the DC Restoration on this TV because the screen is really dark especially when going through the channels the screen will just go black and then when you settle on a channel then the screen will finally brighten up after about 10 seconds.
Is this normal?

Please don't mess with the IF adjustments.
Centering consists of spreading or bringing closer the 2 circular rings along with moving them together. Fiddling with them should give you an indication of the direction you need to go.
There is no DC restoration.
You should be able to get a full snowy white raster with no signal going to the tuner. Your brightness control should be able to take it from bright to complete darkness.
On mine I found the cathode bypass cap(C2) on the 6CM7 vertical output tube really needs to be at least 60uf in order to get decent vertical linearity. I tried a 47uf and that was a no go.
