GE 810 restoration

Does the audio get any clearer if you offset the picture with tuning, in other words tune for best sound?

I can get decent sound if I get the fine tuning just right. It doesn't vary too much; you're either fine tuned in or you're not.

Does the buzz go away then?

A little, but it's still there.. I may have to break down and invest in a blonder tongue modulator.

All RCA sets prior to 1952 are split sound, not intercarrier. The fine tuning is critical hence the sound and video IF alignment always must be done on these sets. I have restored six pre-'52 RCAs and they all needed alignment.
