Make sure you're using the correct set of frequencies from the Sams chart per your specific chassis number.

Thanks for the info. I am going to try touching up on it some more. Actually my audio carrier is 21.9 for this set I don't know why they didn't just make them all the same. The good news is that I think I am in the homestretch now. I reinstalled my CRT and after some fiddling around I am finally getting a stable picture. I think my original problem (after I had recapped and replaced tubes and the other standard stuff) was the loose antenna connection. That led me to monkeying with nearly every adjustment so I am still going to spend some more time with trying to get the alignment right. There are some other little problems but I at least I know everything is for the most part functioning as it should. It was pretty cool watching Johnny Carson last night on this 70 year old set!

Sounds good. So long as you're getting a respectable picture and sound at the same location on the dial, that's really all that matters.

Please let me know if this link works it is a MS onedrive link to a video of my Motorola up and running. This is from a few years ago and I still have some work to do on it and unfortunately the crt is weak but sound is real strong. Let me know if it is not appropriate to have a link like this.
