[McMurdo]

C31 I changed first time round; well actually restuffed as the original is tubular cardboard and date stamped 1949 which I just had to keep.

The reason I did a realignment is that when I first fired it up after goodness knows how many years, I didn't get any image or sound at all, just a raster. As a rough test I slightly tweaked / peaked each coil in turn until a discernable image appeared, albeit blurred, thus confirming it was at least alive. That's when I decided to do it according to the book. Being the 'B' version, the RF deck isn't aligned as per my Bush 'A' manual, however I have the Radio & TV Servicing volume for it and that's the one I followed.

John I suspect you may be right about the alignment, I do remember the book being a little vague about 'double' and 'triple' peaks, not helped by a few contradictions in the text which left me scratching my head a few times.

I will have another go and report back.
