Westinghouse 22 inch color restoration

[Steve K]

Here is finally an update on the Westinghouse. I fixed the video smear problem and did a basic IF alignment (after I had to buy a new scope).

I might have discovered the major problem with these sets. As seen in my earlier posts, the color and convergence is really very good. However, a few days ago I suddenly lost purity. The only way to get a good pure red, blue, or green screen was to pull the yoke all the way back, just the opposite of normal. As I was messing around with it the purity popped back in. After discussing this issue with John Folsom we decided that this may be due to the shadow mask distorting. Darn. If anyone knows what else could cause this please let me know. I have tested eveything else I could think of.

I have added some more pictures. some of which show it in the cabinet. The purity is bad now. I will add a few more pictures when it flips back.
