Well while I didn't fix the remote control issue, I did manage to fix another issue that has bugged me for years. I no longer have jailbars! In the past I changed the diodes on the HOT and around the horizontal circuit as well as replacing the horizontal module. Nothing worked. So it is one of two things I did in this latest repair attempt. It is either the cleaning of all the control pots or rerouting the convergent board wires to more match what I saw in a pic from another set. Either way, they are gone!

But of course this can't be without another issue. Seems the the rerouting of the wires has thrown off convergence as it is has noticeably gotten worse on the right side and top as well as, to a lesser degree, around the entire image. I also am noticing color blotches around the bottom left corner and the right edges. Could this be a color purity issue or maybe it needs to be degaussed? If it needs degassing, how can I do that without a degasser?

I also think I need to readjust focus as the moire effect is more noticeable.

I'm attaching an image of the screen showing the lack of jailbars and you can kind of make out the color blotches.
