Well!.......

Thanks to bgadow, my CTC-36 has new life!

A friend of mine from MD brought up a bunch of TVs, including a pair of CTC-36 parts sets. Since one of the parts sets was totally rusted but had an excellent picture tube, I pulled the 19HNP22, and put it in my set.

Took me just under 3 hours, with coffee breaks and a lot of cleaning, about 45 minutes of alignment included in that figure. How the heck I ever did alignment without a cross hatch pattern I'll never know. Prolly why they never turned out that good

Anyway, here's a shot of the set with the new tube in, just before the cross hatch alignment. Thanks Bryan!!!!
