This is very good to see! At this point there are a few things I would like to see.
While you have the color locked - even though they are incorrect, Please check
the voltages on the pins of each tube we have talked about, please clearly post
any that are off.... I see pins 1, & 2 of the phase detector are behaving better.
And it's ok that they are 10. & not 12 at this point.

I think you should tune in a news broadcast and focus on checking for
response of the color knob, and the tint knob. Can you fully saturate
the screen with color? as in the color is so bright that it's impossible
to watch? and when you turn the tint knob do you have a range
where you can definitely see that it's working - even if the colors
are wrong. If you have good working range on these knobs, then
I think it's time to figure out why the colors are wrong....

If you can get a range on the tint knob that includes getting parts of people's
faces red - green - blue that would be cool..... Can you confirm that when
you watch a news broadcast, or Daytime Soap, if they are still on, Springer
Show, whatever so you see some nice studio quality face shots, that you
are getting some range out of the tint knob....

Also I'm wondering about the voltages on Pins 1, & 7, of V24, & V25.

If you got this by replacing the crystal, then........... maybe........ you
might ........ I can't believe I'm about to say this....... Try a third
crystal........ I gotta go lay down now....... But you don't have
to do this right now, just keep it on the back burner.....


There has to be a vortex from some other dimension around Timmy's house
that causes all this......
