Maybe we can try this from memory (I smell something burning already).

I'm just going to assume your chassis is an RCA clone...similar to a CTC-15. With that being said, the color board is the one in the middle... at the rear of the set. This board has two rows of tubes... the forward row has 4 tubes, and the aft row has five. The 6GH8 you're looking for would be in the row of five... tube number 3... in the middle.

I've seen some 6GH8's that did not provide a lock... or was slow to do so... and still tested good in the tester. In my CTC15, I plugged in several different tubes before I got one that gave me a good, fast color lock.

my roundie combo sitting right next to it is a ctc-15, so that tip helped a lot.

I replaced the two 6gh8's with new ge, colors are stronger but still in a striping fashion.

Thanks for the tip on the crystal, looks like it's time to start recapping.
