sounds like the color sync is absent. Use a color bar generator for a good strong color signal. Adjust the 3.58 reactance coil and see if you can make the color bars stand up. Of the bars are getting wider and more upright, you are going in the right direction.

If you can make them stand straight up, but they won't stop moving your 3.58 crystal is good. its making the correct frequency, its just not locking in. Look around the bandpass amp and bust amp for changed resistor values and or open caps. ALso check that tube sockets have not come loose on the board in the color section.

If you cannot amke the bars stand up and the reactance coil has no effeect, there is improper frequency and most likely the 3.58 crystal is bad. I may have some old video speed servicing from the PF reporter I can scan for you if I can find it.
