CTC11 on a agile modulator

[Zenith26kc20]

Yes, the picture is poor (too much light and reflections in the shop) but it shows the problem is solved. I have been fighting what appeared to be an IF problem on this set for a long time. Nothing checked bad, it just had herringbone on the faces of people, bad herringbone. I have suspected the converter boxes were putting out too much video signal. I bought a couple of Blonder Tongue agile modulators and after getting them sorted out hooked one up here at the shop. No more herringbone and the fine tuning works properly now! I had a lead on this a bit ago when my Channel Master converter box died and I replaced it (on my Maggie T-933) with an Insignia. Herringbone faces appeared on it. I recommend getting one of these now more than ever! It's also nice to not have to have converter boxes everywhere! Now I can concentrate on purity, convergence and other things this set needs!
