RCA Victor 6T74 Finally Finnished!

I've said this on the ARF site too:

Congratulations Bill!

Here I will say: This set will be around for a long time to come. I've read about the problems for several years on ARF and am so glad that it is now fixed. Seeing McHales Navy for the first time in many years is fun. I saw all of them from the beginning of the series to the end on the network run. Made me really like seeing Joe Flynn as Binghamton (the accent is on the ham) and Tim Conway as Parker play off of each other.

I'm still surprised that RCA allowed that set to get out of the QC area. But, I dont know how they were back then. It's like when they have a car that wont start at the end of the assembly line... They push it out of the way. I hear they are known as "goodies for the dealer."

Again, Bill, Congratulations!

Thanks, guys. Still have my vertical problem. Looks like a resistor is changing value, but, if that's the worst that happens, I'm happy.
Once I saw it go into a vertical bar, black out, then, come back a full picture, but, it hasn't done it since, so, why borrow trouble??
Anyway, slight audio tuning problem is easily fixed. Probably tube drift.
All, in all, I'm happy with it. Picture is good. And, the round ball on Huckleberry Hound actually looks round, now.

Just finnished enjoying 6 programs of The Dick Van Dyke Show on DVD.
Great program.
Except for slight vertical shrinking at bottom, set played great.
Enjoyed myself very much!
