Yeah, I know the Westinghouse schematic numbers are wrong (1350 ohms for the secondary IIRC). Since the CT-100 part looks like it works in this set as well I'll go with the numbers I get based off of your information. I did measure a 1 foot piece of wire and got 1.3 ohms which corresponds with the 1320 or so ohms per 1000 feet of 41AWG. 43AWG should have been more like 2.1 ohms per foot. That's why I believe the parts were made differently.
My secondaries were open so I didn't have the benefit of getting a resistance reading off of the original part.

I was finally able to do the IF alignment after dealing with stuck and chipped cores and two transformers with broken wires. I think I got a pretty passable response after a lot of iteration. Hopefully the color will look and sync better now. I will need to order more capacitors so I can replace the remaining paper wax capacitors still being used. Also I will need to check out the horizontal oscillator since it starts becoming flaky after being on for a while, shifting frequency a bit then back again. I need to build a 3.58MHz crystal oscillator for aligning the demodulator section. That way I should be able to set up the 90 degree phase shift using a dual trace scope and be sure it's correct before installing the CRT to the chassis. That is the pain in the rear about this set... the CRT has to be removed from the chassis to do much of anything with it beyond normal adjustments.

Looks like I'm on my own as far as the convergence transformer goes, so I ordered one of those Chinese automatic coil winders and some 41AWG wire. This should make it easier to get a nice, tight, even wind and if the transformer ends up not working for some reason I can try again fairly easily. I'll first try winding the primary and see how close to 1000 ohms I get for winding resistance. That's a few days off right now. I also need to order more .1uF capacitors, and I will also get a 3.58MHz crystal oscillator for chroma demodulator alignment. My work area is in the garage, and with this 100 degree weather I'm not really doing much now.
