Hi Jerry,
The set
should produce a good pic with few/no retrace lines in under most conditions.
It definitely needs a strong signal, i checked one of my sets and as soon as the signal drops off the retrace lines pop up, the switch next to the antenna terminals is a local/distant switch, it should be set to distant if you're in a weak signal area.
Also the brightness needs to be kept low.
You didn't mention if you've done any work to these sets?
Usually replacing the capacitors is the minimum they will need to work right, also the horiz afc double diode is always bad on these (it's Selenium but can be replaced with two ordinary Silicone diodes)
Wonder if GE will still honor the CRT recall and replace my CRT?
This set is using a rejuvenated tube.
(The pic looks better than the actual picture on the set!)
