I also found the promos for a Curtis Mathis too. They called the chassis a CMC21. We kept the set for 6 years then traded it on a GE with a KE chassis. Not a bad set. Did my training on that Tv, my first convergence job. When my folks weren't home.

GE KE, not a bad set. Not a good one either!
Just kidding. There were worse sets. Wasn't the KE, the last of that design. Trying to remember how many years GE built that series.

Ge Chassis

Oh I know, the GE KD wasn't great, or lets go Solid State. JA,QA, MA,MB EC, PC, AA and so on, I worked on all those sets from 74 to 87. Our shop handled GE and Sylvania and we quit Sylvania about 80, Why I do not know cause it was a great set till NAP took it over. The only NAP set that was good was the C9. I had one and the only weakness I found was the Horiz Driver transformer would break loose. Otherwise it played great.

Don't see why you would want to touch the color alignment at all - color bars and pictures look good to me.
Hi old_tv_nut,

It looks good to me, too. The only reason I thought it might need a tweak is that I have to have the tint control at about 3 o'clock instead of centered. But I'm inclined to leave well enough alone.
