I'm gonna double check and maybe replace the IF tubes. I'm thinking though it'd either agc or tunner related, even with the agc up all the way I can't get it to overload on our house signal which is VERY strong (it can overload any other TV I have). It's a Nuvista, there's obviously SOMETHING wrong because everyone tells me these things are *amazing* when it comes to getting signals...
Hey - there's no silly questions

I very well might have a bad tube in there..
I'm going by the old advice of getting the B&W picture perfect THEN attacking color. But I've got a nice nice HP sig gen I can use as a marker

Even got a current cal sticker on it
