I've done all the adjustments. I got the convergence pretty much dead on, except for a little blue horizontal on the very right edge. Seems the 2 new pots and a very extensive D5 and F5 cleaning of the other pots helped greatly. It is the best I've been able to get it and I'm more than happy with it and will not touch it again.

I'm starting to think the jailbars are coming from some other source (IF?). They are still there with all new electrolytics using SM part numbers, new diodes and new ceramics in the horizontal circuits. I disconnected the tuner to IF and I got a bright white raster, so no way of telling if the jailbars were there or not. My next step is to remove the IF module and connect my generator directly to C1 and inject the signal. I'm not sure if I can bring up anything that will show if the jailbars are there or not. What about a direct composite feed? I'm sure it's not as simple as connecting the composite out signal to C1 and ground, right?

As for the peak pix control... Is that off fully counter clockwise, or does that over soften the image? I really can't tell, but it seems soft CCW and noisy fully CW. So maybe the center is where it should be?

Attaching a couple of pics. They're from a laserdisc.
