Well I feel like a complete idiot. Ignore everything I asked in this thread. I really should have gone over old threads before starting this and also looked over the convergence board. It's been almost 13 years since my initial work on the set and I completely forgot I had tackled most of these already. I replaced all three inductors and cleaned all other pots.

They only thing I didn't do is replace the pots that might be causing the right side red and green not adjusting to match the blue. I know have those pots and will replace Monday. The only thing I needs is some tips on how to unsolder them. The leads are down into little metal "buckets" and then filled with solder. It's the same inside the set on all the underside components. I tried holding my iron on the metal "bucket", but it never got hot enough to melt the large blob of solder. If I could find a long, thin tip I might be able to get down into it. I don't know what they used at the factory, but I'm assuming it was something that surrounded the little "bucket."

Attaching a small pic of what I'm referring to. In it you can see how the leads are set into solder inside the inserts. You can also see one filled, but nothing in it.
