After I didi the recap, I set mine up by eye as I don't have a scope. The horizontal coils udjusted easily and I never have to readjust the horizontal hold or the vertical for that matter. The synchronization is very stable. The only real complaint I have about this set is that if the signal is weak, the contrast goes way down. I think it must have only one or two video IFs. I am really spoiled by my 1960s 12" Zenith B&W which has three IFs. It's amazing what a difference 10 years makes in technology.
As vinatge TVs go, this is a good model to own. It is rugged, small which makes it easy to store and display and has that definite Fifties look. I only wish they had built-in UHF.
When digital takes over, I'll just hook it to a converter box and it won't matter that there is no UHF. I just hope the converter boxes available when analog stops have an RF output for the old sets otherwise I'll have to use a modulator like I do now for DVD.
