Hi to all,
Hi Etype2,

Video input mod will not yield "spectacular" resolution increase except if the tuner and especially the IF chain has drifted badly out of optimum bandpass.
I suppose your Golden Restorer will do a full RF/IF sweep on your set.

As a personal experience, on my CT-100 i purchased Pete Deksnis's video input kit - derived from RCA's studio monitor mod (about 20 years ago). The seller of my CT-100 warned me that the TV was not performing very well on upper VHF (Band III) channels.

As the CT-100 requires IF alignment of no less than 5 IF stages, i chickened out. It is one of the most difficult sets to align and you need a full Lab of gear to do it.

The CT-100 video input module works well, but as you know from your Westinghouse, the 12" picture of a 15GP22 is nothing to brag about resolution-wise.
Oh well, it's IN COLOR ! (1954).

Best Regards
