RCA CTC-36 Woes
Was watching my beautiful CTC-36 portable one day about 2 months ago, and (as seems to happen to me on a regular basis with various sets) heard a loud POP, and the set lost all color sync.....the color went to bars of color rapidly flipping vertically, while the actual picture was still locked in, in black and white.
After my Portacolor debacle over the last few days, I needed to get some vindication, so I opened up the RCA. After replacing a .01 mfd ceramic capacitor on the board where the color drive controls are located, the color locked in nicely, but I'm getting color retrace lines on the screen. Picture is purposely washed out by the controls to give you a better idea of what I've got. Picture itself is very slightly jittery, but locked in solid. Just a tiny tiny amount of jitter, just enough to make you angry Ideas?
