I've been blessed!

I completely detuned the sound trap, and now have reasonable audio (and do not have sound beat in the picture). Sound volume still varies some when adjusting fine tuning (runnning up and down the slope), so this set is far from being in limiting. Waiting to get the replacment tube(s) and see if that does anything.

Picture was blurrier than ever after the alignment (don't know if its supposed to be that way, or my efforts narrowed the IF too much). So, I tweaked the interstage to bring up the high freq video and chroma a bit. I'd definitely rate the "super" chassis as a stumble along the path of cost reduction of color sets.

I've decided I'm going to button this up for a while and get my living room back, at least over the holidays. Got the bezel and pencil box back on and the back installed. Will use it to view some DVDs of old Christmas shows, just because.
