another convergence question

[marty59]

Wherever the controls were set from the last time at least gives you some sort of baseline. If everything was "ideal" at the factory and everything aligned the same then I'm sure that there would have been some preset conditions. And this is only good if everything is working right.
Change out the CRT and everything starts over again! Lots of varibles!!

I found out by complete accident that my CTC-11 is very watchable without the dynamic convergence board plugged in. Looks just as good as the Sylvania test jig CRT. I did however still have the dummy load plugged into the CTC-11 convergence board socket

My 4 is a PIA to converge. I wound up rotating the convergence yoke slightly to achieve reasonable results, but it sure ain't perfect, nor will it be.

Same exact thing here! Is it rotated slightly anti-clockwise as viewed when looking at it through the top from the front of the set?

Yes, exactly. My tube is what I believe to be an early tube with a "greenish" screen, not "silvery-grayish" as has been discussed before. Maybe the gun assemblies in some tubes are "off" a bit. Not really a problem here, as the amazing color reproduction makes up for minor convergence trouble.
I'm going to again go through the entire set soon, and will post any strange or appropriate findings.
