The CTC-16X is also available.

The ETF Museum database is the "go-to" place for vintage B&W & color TV data.

Thanks for the info, but I've been using this SAMS from their site, I was looking for the RCA service manual. The RCA manual has a little bit more information about adjusting the set, I was able to buy one online.

Onto purity and convergence. Does anyone reccomend a good lubricant for the convergence pots? I've got a couple that are stiff, and was able to get a few moving with some contact cleaner, but they're still harder to turn than some of the other pots on the board. I was thinking dielectric grease, or I've seen F5 fader lube/cleaner reccomended for other applications.
