Picture problems related to alignment usually end up as ghosting that changes with the fine tuning adjustment, weak or no color, excessive hue shift with fine tuning, or interference patterns in the picture, either from the sound carrier or 920kHz beat from the chroma carrier. These adjustments have to be done with test equipment, they cannot be done visually.[/QUOTE]
Ditto, well said. IF alignment rarely goes way out without HELP.
Once I changed an IF transformer in a GE. I eyeballed thet one.
The last Emerson TV's seemed to have alignment probs but they were
such POS's we never dealt with it. And had a big Admiral that an alleged
TV man got to with a diddle stick. We couldnt fix it & sent it to Admiral
of Boston. Even they couldnt fix it.
