Let me chime in and agree that your picture looks pretty darned good. 60-year old TVs are not like modern plasmas. They were watched in subdued light, not bright sunlit rooms.

It's possible that you are very nearly done. As old_coot88 recommends, I'd be very cautious about turning any adjusters unless you have identified them in the manual and you have a clear plan in mind. The video IF adjustments are critical and you should not touch them unless you have specialized equipment and the experience to use it.

Part of restoring a vintage TV is learning how a TV from those days actually works (for better or worse). You might want to sit down in the evening and watch the TV for a while -- give it a little shakedown cruise. How is the stability? Are you constantly jumping up to adjust something, or can you basically sit back and enjoy the show? What's the audio like? How does the TV audio compare to audio in FM mode? (The audio is usually louder in FM radio mode on this particular TV, but the quality should be about the same.) Take some time to get used to the continuous tuner, so you know when you have found the spot where you get the best picture and the best audio. If the best-audio spot is far away from the best-picture spot, then perhaps it would help to tweak the audio adjustments. And so on . . . .
