I may need to realign parts of the chroma section. On a hunch I decided to peak the phase detector transformer by sight and was able to get the colors correct. I didn't do the whole AFC alignment originally, just the first part. Definitely will be doing the whole thing. May as well align the whole set while I'm at it. Had to readjust the tuner as the fine tuning control was maxing out. It really is starting to feel like someone has been in here messing with things.
Of interest, the RCA manual has a lot simpler ways for doing adjustments. The SAMS requires a lot more equipment to do some of the same adjustments. EG, with the demodulator adjustments, RCA has you do it by sight on the picture tube, SAMS has it done on an oscilloscope. Not sure if there's much of a difference.
Shorted L16, no luck. 1800ohm is reading 780ohm, I'll pull it and take a look at the actual resistance. In theory, the center areas of the convergence should be converged right? Just the edges are adjusted through the convergence board?
