I have seen only one old TV that was in what I would call acceptable "factory" IF alignment. Some were truly awful. The exception which was absolutely
perfect in every way, and would have generated a perfect color picture if the video was sent into a CT-100 was my oldest set: a 1939 TRK-12. But its IF is 8-12 MHz. The TRK12 on the other had some rather bad RF alignment channels;
it was not a production set tuner as it was apparently used to test conversion to the "intermediate set" channels.
