Is convergence easy to do on these sets? I don't think RCA would want to risk the quality issues stemming from badly done convergence done by novices in the field. As the CT100 was one of the first color sets released to the world, the average TV serviceman would be a novice to convergence.

I could see RCA shipping CRTs with yokes already mounted on them, and with the convergence circuitry connected up to it, as a single package. With the convergence adjustments already done at the factory. and in the field: "mount this board here, and connect these connectors here".
