i picked up a rca ctc16 combo once.did a wake up on the crt.tested strong and when i fired it up i was greeted with a bright,shard color picture.hello,1965!after approx, 30 minutes,the red gun died a slow and painful death.i scrambled to test everything in the red circuit hoping it wasnt the crt.unfortunatly,it was the crt.i nearly cried.restored it a few times but it would fade after 30 to 45 minutes.no hope to save.was an original colorama with the dark green face.i replaced wit a channelmaster rebuild and it looked great.moved it to the front of my shop for display.one month later.we had a breakin and though little was taken,4 sets were destroyed.3 roundies and a zenith hybrid had the crts smashed.insurance didnt pay much as no crts were available to buy and replace.i was allowed 89.00 per crt.adjuster found an old vdc price list and thats what the roundies were going for back then.i feel your pain.that a great looking set and i hope your crt can be saved or you find another.
