BLOOMING symptom is the pix will expand as brightness goes up.
With changes of scene it will "breathe" in & out. Very common on tube
sets but very rare on solid states.
BLEEDING or FLAMING is a streak to the right of a bright scene.
Can be one color or any color or white. Almost always weak CRT.
Turning up brightness & contrast make it much worse.
BTW since you have a "knob job" tuner forget the cable switch.
There are 12 presets for VHF fine tuning, one for each channel.
It is a screw so you can turn it quite a few times. Most the time
you can go to the next channel, ch5 can go to ch4 or ch6.
Proper way to FT is turn off any AFT & auto color switches,
fine tune for best pix then put the AFT on.
