Don't ya just hate when that happens. And of course new ink will cost a fortune.

Thank you very much for taking the time to scan that document. I don't have one of those televisions. But I sure would love to own one. I just like to see how it was done "In the day". Glad that there are some of us who still preserve this piece of electronic history.

Here's a direct link to the 16-megabyte manual:

Sure enough, this manual tells the dealer how to install the 15GP22 CRT, which was shipped in a separate carton. As Charles noted, another carton in the lower cabinet space contained the yoke, purity coil, & whatnot.

This 40-page manual has more content than the shorter RCA Field Service Manual section for the CT-100. I haven't yet compared the two to look for little differences in material that's duplicated (the schematic, for instance).

Thanks, reeferman. I'll send the original back in a day or two.

On page 9, the crt diagram on the right hand side of the page should be rotated 180 degrees. Hopefully, the tech did not use this diagram for assembly.
