I have on 2 CTC-2 and 2 CTC-4 sets fixed egregious alignment issues by replacing all resistors that were off tolerance or at the edge of tolerance with modern tighter tolerance parts....On the CTC-4s the sound, luminance and chroma were all so far apart from each other on the fine tuning that you could only get 1.5 out of 3 in good at once (you could get any 1 of the 3 in alone good at a different fine tuning spot) before resistor changes, and normal fine tuning and operation after resistor changes.
That’s the kicker here I haven’t found any bad resistors anywhere I had sound but it fizzled out to static and distortion can here voices but it was there almost to say a resistor went really high but found nothing that’s why I’m now looking at caps leaking or shorted.
