Chromacolor IIs almost always have instant on for the CRT and almost never allow you to switch it off. 2 solutions to that are unhook one of the instant on transformer wires, or unplug the set when not in use.
I am currently unplugging when not in use, but there are some other issues that seem to be part of the circuit. When I plug it in, the image is unstable, but tapping the power switch clears it up. Seems to also cause vertical hold issues until tapped. So it would seem I need to try replacing the capacitor in hopes it clears it up. If not, I need to find the entire circuit and find the fault.
