Motorola and Zenith had speaker grills that could be removed to access the convergence adjustments in front of the set. Better yet.

....and Motorola Quasars had that nice white overlay with step-by-step adjustments - and the dittle stick was provided! Just follow the path, and she was nicely converged. I converged a whopping ONE Quasar - and probably 30-40 RCA tube sets. With the 23V/25A Universal rebuilds at 49 bucks, we did a lot of CRT jobs with RCAs. Quasars were mostly F/JA/VA panels and the occasional CA panel. I loved the Quasar design, unless asked to help load one - heavy as some Zeniths.


Cheers,
