Biggest problem with my "good one" is something heat sensitive in the vert circuit that causes a lot of drift until it's good and warmed up. I've replaced the tubes and caps, not sure if I started replacing resistors or not. That set hasn't been turned on in probably 3 years  |
I found resistors on the vertical board that changed value really bad.
My CTC51K wouldn't stop rolling and the size and linearity wouldn't adjust properly. Even when I replaced the 13GF7 and the 50MFD 'lytic.
My set is a real cheapie. It never came equipped with a degaussing coil.
