While working on an alarm job at a new bank branch, I mentioned that I had brought back to life a CTC-4, and had obtained very good screen shots using DVD's of Technicolor films. This pronouncement was met with snickers from a fellow technician. Of course, at the time I had no screen shot pictures to show what the "old war horse" of a receiver could do. I now have a couple of photos with me.
I will try to post a couple of photos. The CRT is re-built, and has the original color gamut of the 21AXP22, no "A" suffix. Color reproduction can be almost breathtaking in a pitch black room (my basement)!
BTW: At maximum white on the screen, the X-RAY output measured through the safety glass with a radiac meter measured .4 milirems per hour, a rather high reading.
The current project is a CTC-11 with VERY LOW hours. Chassis is mint and super clean. Usual caps, etc replacement. Love working on old color chassis! helps fight depression.
