Taking the resistance measurements was a bust. About 3 out of 16 pins had values noted in the SM. There was supposed to have been 2 that were supposed to INF, but had minor resistance. Others weren't even close. I figure that if they were this far off, there would be other major issues, so I decided to get a replacement IC just to see if that helps. I am also going to remove the individual metal socket pins on the board and replace with a modern socket. Then I'll revisit the resistance measurements.

I got the new bar generator and just tested it. I created exactly what the SM stated and I should be able to get the scope to show the waveforms from the SM. I think someone here, years ago, stated that the horizontal width is preset and cannot be changed. The color bars at each end are halfway off the edge of the screen. Normal?

Anyway, I need to figure out what the AFT might have to do with tint and color as I turned it off and slightly adjusted the channel and turned it back on. The tint went back to normal and has stayed there. This might just be coincidence, but it's worth a look.

Attached a couple pics. Colors in pics aren't exactly as seen in person. Tried several settings on camera, but this is the best I can get.
