My CTC-16 is alive!

I've been helping my Dad clean out his TV repair shop and we dug things out enough that we could get to my RCA CTC-16 roundie, so a few minutes before he closed up tonight, we took a look at it - and fixed it. It had a bad 6JE6, and now has a focus problem. Gonna give the Focus rectifier a try tomorrow. The Focus Coil has no noticable affect when adjusted.

Here's the original thread from when I got it last year:

Gonna take some photos of it tomorrow - it's got full color, the tint goes through the range, and it has plenty of brightness. Convergence is a mess, but it'll have to wait until I can focus the set. Looking over the set, it looks pretty solid.

Sadly, I don't have room in my house for it, so I'll have to look at other options for now.

Pictures tomorrow!

Cheers,
