Bought a cr-70.. Was dead on arrival, so bought a second one... Man.. The 3 23" black and whites i had all tested good, but i did an auto restore on them and cannot believe the difference.
But have a question on the color setting. I have just checked a couple g07's and every monitor seems to be the same for color tracking. everything is good except for that. The manual says to do each gun one after another so the settings for all 3 are stored and compared. But it doesn't say how that is done really.
If i start with red. I have 3 other settings to switch to choose that gun ( the 3 numbers in the manual beside the crt number). The manual simply says to turn to the other two colors to do the test and to store the settings for each. Do you turn to green, then set the 3 numbers, then turn to blue, and set the 3 numbers?
Not sure if just turning the color dial is enough on its own withoit setting the 3 numbers, if it should be turned off, then on between colors...etc..or really how its done..
 
so turn it on, leave it on color tracking,
then set the dial to red - set the 3 numbers for red.
set the dial to green - set the 3 numbers for green
set the dial to blue - set the 3 numbers for blue

and then..... it automatically will compare them? The thing I am having a problem with understanding is that if you set up the 3 numbers for the red gun, the last 2 colors only need the first of the 3 numbers changed.. the last 2 numbers are the same for all 3 guns. So I am wondering how the cr70 would know that you were done adjusting the 3 numbers on your final color gun... by just adjusting the first one and neither of the last 2.. its almost like there 'should' be a button to depress after each gun is set so it knows you are done, and moving to the next one if that makes sense.. I have tried it the way above and the needle just sits in the same place and does not move.
 
Isn't storing the settings just for you to have a base starting point to compare to after restoration? I have a Cr-7000 but never use that feature on mine. I just test-restore-retest.
 
The color tracking is a comparison between the 3 color guns. If they are off xx% from eachother then it should show in the 'bad' range. You might not need to restore/rejuv.

A member pm'd me that the proper proceedure is to go up to tracking for the red, then back the dial off to the voltage adjustment, change gun color, rotate up to tracking, back to voltage..etc.. and it should store it and give a final result.
