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.
