The "end of the yellow brick road." How apropos! Nice color too.

Kewl !! A miracle about on the same order of magnitude as the Loaves 'n' Fishies, if you're an old TV nut...(grin)

Fantastic job, and, brilliant color! Great job, guys!!!!! :banana:

I can imagine you guys were wanting to pull your hair out while trying to deal with the CT100!

"We're so close... so close... and now we have to deal with chassis issues!!"

You guys get the gold star this week... that's for sure! Those pics are great!

I just got a chance to read up and look at the pictures. Congratulations Bob, John and Scotty on a job not ever done by anyone else in modern times. Truly amazing work guys!

Fantastic! Thanks for all your work on this, and thanks for not giving up.

Shucks folks,I'm speechless!!!

Like breaking the 4-minute mile - now we know it can be done!

Hoorah!

Congratulations on seeing a real payoff from all of your work, Bob and John.

Congratulations
 

Great work guys.
I'm really proud of you and your accomplishment.

Long Live The 15GP22!

Regards,
Terry Cheek

Wow that is just fantastic news! We all knew you guys could do it! :thmbsp:

One question, Was this the same gun that went through the partial rebuild previously when the stem broke? or was this another gun assembly?

I've really enjoyed this sort of "back to the future" thread! Congratulations.

After more tweaking ......
 

Bob and I have spent some time tweaking the Westinghouse 15" color set driving the rebuilt 15GP22. While there are still some unexplained purity defects, mainly in the reg/green domain, when displaying a color picture these artifacts are less noticeable

We are going to declare victory. :banana:

Bob and I have now move on to playing with the Mitsubishi Trinescope color TV. Bob has given a demo course in can capacitor re-stuffing, and we are just about ready to give the little set a try.
