1968 Motorola works in a drawer

Thank you! So adjust by rotating? I took a close up pic of the ones on my set. I've not seen this style before, on my other TVs they were more obvious.

Update: figured it out. Convergence procedure went well as did grey scale. Purity was difficult but found a decent compromise.

Set makes a great monochrome picture, but colour is kind of weird, tends to smear across the screen when there's a block of one colour, almost like a shadow. Picture a bit jumpy after convergence procedure as if one of the convergence pots was dirty.

Smearing as you describe is most always a weak crt in a solid state set.

Can also occur if color level is too high, or fine-tuning is mis-adjusted.

When it is a monochrome picture (intensity all the way down, or in a middle to low position) there is no smearing regardless of brightness setting. It doesn't bloom like a weak crt in monochrome set, but rather smear the colour way past where it should be. I wanted to make a photo this morning (this is really hard to describe but easy to photograph!) but issue with convergence pot came up and needs to be dealt with first.

Tube does test good on all three guns with good colour tracking and cutoff

Worst case I can use the new testing 25XP22 in my RCA ctc38 , the Motorola is a much nicer TV and deserves a good tube. The sharpness of the picture is wonderful.
