RCA 630TS sound problems

[John Folsom]

I gotta agree with old tv nut.... maybe your meter was on AC volts?

The '630 is a split sound set (as you may well know). This means the allignment of the video IF and audio IF are completely independant, and is why sound and picture may not coincide. You should realign the sound IFs to 21.25MHZ. And of course, it would not hurt to realign the vidoe IFs as well.But without test equipment support, it is very difficult to get the sound and video alignment to coincide. You can try a little careful hand-tweaking of the sound IF coils for best sound with best picture, but make notes of any adjustments you make so you can put it back if need be. Allignemt by ear is a good way to wind up worse off then when you started!
