Went back and redid all the dynamic setup stuff IAW the Sams booklet, and noticed that I had misread a few of the instructions. I hadn't properly adjusted the horizontal phase slugs to work with the amplitude controls. That's why I wasn't previously able to get the lines to bend the way I wanted. It's still not perfect, but very acceptable for everyday viewing. There's a slight red shadow in the bottom left of the scene, but it's livable. Next I'll have to retackle the matrix alignment because there's too much blue in the picture, and the killer circuit could use a little help as well- it's very touchy. Overall, it's starting to look much better!

Found that the color killer was wonkey because of incorrect chroma amplitude, a tweak to the color take off and bandpass transformers fixed that. Then all it took was a few minor tweaks to the 3.58 CW transformer (which adjusts the phase of the local oscilator going to each demod), and along with a touch up of convergence and CRT drives it's good enough to call done!

Now I'll move it into the living room, and start enjoying it.

Maybe you're confused, this is the CTC-4 I picked up in Indianapolis.

You mean like a CTC-4 that works on all original caps?

Mine didn't, that thing was used for a solid 20 years before I got it! I often wonder how the flyback could look as good as it does if it was used that much- I know it was replaced at least once, but I don't know if the tag left on the chassis was the only one, know what I mean?
