Your T933 doesn’t have an AFT switch on the back? Mine has the switch. It is labeled “auto color” on the TV, but it is really just the AFT defeat switch.
The issue I am struggling with is chroma bleeding, smearing, or streaking. I have a T931 too, which is almost identical. So I know how the tuner should behave: turning fine tuning counterclockwise increases sharpness and turning it clockwise increases smearing. That is how my T931 fine tuning works, and quite frankly all of my 1960s work that way.
My T933’s fine tuning has increased smear when turning clockwise, as expected, but counterclockwise doesn’t decrease the color smear to a sufficient level. When I turn the chroma gain to minimum, there is no smear in the black and white.
Also, the fine tuning doesn’t “wrap around”. So if I continue turning it counterclockwise it seems to rotate to one extreme and not circle back to the other extreme. Any ideas as to what is wrong?
