My new CTC-28!
 
5 Attachment(s)
This is one of the cleanest, most pristine tube televisions that I've seen. It was bought September 15th of last year by a friend and fellow collector, and I have been after it since I first saw it seven months ago. The cabinet is flawless. Whoever owned this TV took extraordinarily good care of it. It's 100% original save for a couple of tubes. I'm going to do a cataract surgery on the 25XP22 as soon as possible, but it's supposed to rain every day this week, so I may be doing it in the house.

I did a cataract surgery on the tube this morning before the rain started, and now it looks 100% showroom perfect.

I have a CTC28 too, it was my parents' set, the "Tonsberg". The CRT is weak but I have a new Channel Master CRT for it. That too has a cataract issue too. Still in queue.

The only thing thing I have to do on this set is replace the convergence rectifier. Convergence is atrocious at the moment. Amazing colors though.

In those pictures, I did not have the chassis installed.

Sweet! Now I don't have to take a microwave full of 'iffy pop' to a supernova. :D

Indeed so. Most indeededly.

Nice set Dave. The last of the finest chassis series, gone after the two-board CTC38 appeared.

As a TV repair novice when those sweet-looking RCA's were 10 years old, I was consulted by a few owners of these beauties as a "second opinion". I always left humbled as flybacks cost almost what rebuilt CRT's did.

After the first few, I could smell roasting fly or see the 6JE6 red-plating like a freakin' rocket with -50v drive on pin 3 - cathode current 400 ma plus, you know the rest. Why change a fly until you know the CRT is any good.

Dave, is that the original jug? It looks from the label that was made the sixth month of 1969. Is that about right for the date of the set? Maybe that was a rebuilt CRT. Very nice set. Sure would like posted pictures of that when its all repaired.

TUD1 08-31-2018 09:25 PM

Yes, this set was 100% original before I started monkeying with it after it BROKE. I can't believe I forgot to post here that this set broke. It was way back in April, the cabinet now has a junky CTC-40 chassis and mask, and a rebuilt picture tube. I should have left it alone.
