Good news....

Powered unit up tonight with a variac. Stereo works. and very well!
Tv, B+ up and could hear horiz output. no raster, good audio. going to test tubes later this week. This could be a simple fix. But I hope not, looking for a challenge (besides PVA restore on a badly cataract crt). I was right, this is a late ctc-16a chassis. looks all orig even tubes. Lady I got it from says she hardly used the tv since she was a one owner. Funny thing is the first time I tried a power up, the tv wouldn't power. The tuning knobs light up, but no hv, no lights in the tubes, nothing. As soon as I removed the rear cover, back to life... intreresting, like I let the gnome out, lol
