Wayne. Thus far, I've gone by the book aligning the color (all front-panel controls) -- except for the I gain, which is running nearly wide open. Re color bars: gated color bars seem to have a luminance issue when bounced against the same signal displayed on the digital set. Blue bars on the CT-100 appear to be near-saturation in order to view red- and green-hue bars.
The setup: (1) both sets adjusted for color picture from over-the-air broadcast. (2) switch from antenna to gated color bar gen. (3) bars on digital set appear normally; blue-direction bars on CT-100 appear normal; red- and green-direction bars very dim. Readjusting contrast and brightness brings up the end hues.
Any thoughts on the color bar anomaly?
I made special efforts to find and use all original inductors, especially those in the demodulator filters, to get as close as possible to factory-original, and was successful except for L42, which I don't think is an important factor anyway (it's in the dc path from the color afc to the reactance tube). Was very fortunately to have gathered a full set of the 'white' inductors, which are very prone to opening up.
My further plans include sweeping the chrom circuits for published specs to help get as close to factory-original as possible.
