I remember seeing the set that I have operating in the orig. owners home several years before he moved and gave it to me. Warmed up, it did not look half bad, but that took at least 1/2 hour or more. He told me that he fiddled with the convergence adjustments quite a bit, as they seemed to "drift". I never saw the set with the side cover on the convergence panel, as he left it off for convenience of adjustment. In fact, I thought that the panel was missing, but he kept it inside the set next to the HV cage. At that time my CT 100 still had vacuum in the crt, and as I recall the Westinghouse had better convergence than I could obtain with it.

Update:
Ok, I found a screenshot of my Ct 100 in better days, I could never get very good convergence on it... the Westinghouse was BETTER than this! Can anybody figure what the program was, and approx when it was aired?
