I think you might be right....




Took a little time to wake up, but all 3 guns read at the top of the good scale after sitting for 5 minutes and the life test ain't bad either. Anyone wanna hear how the variac powerup of the chassis went?

You're got to be kidding, this tube tested good!!
Can it be plugged into a working CT-100 chassis to see if it works.

Still can't be sure until HV or tesla coil present; the getter is a bit worrisome.
But if there's no faint blue neon glow anywhere along guns (viewed in dark) with tube tester, that would be promising.

If you do get a matching or near-matching schematic diagram from Ed Reitan, you may be able to do just that after some electrolytic restuffing. Absent that schematic, you could draw your own (got a few days or weeks?) and compare it to the CTC2 schematic to maybe narrow down the missing or incorrect tubes.

Either this forum or my browser needs to be taught some of the words we use around here. It doesn't like variac, powerup, or restuffing.
