Talking Loved my CTC-10 back in 1973

[QUOTE=bgadow]yagosaga, that is an excellent demonstration!

The first color roundie I ever saw work anywhere near right was my CTC-11. I was amazed that color was really that good during the Kennedy administration. I need to work on the -11 some more now since my CTC-5 actually looks better than it! No, you can't watch these sets outside in the sun-what crt set can you do that with? I find these sets plenty bright. But, oh, they have to be set up right! A thoroughly screwed up color picture isn't too common on, say, a 70s Zenith Chromacolor II or an RCA XL-100. But on a tube set there are just so many adjustments and variables that things can really be thrown way out of wack. Thats the fun of these sets, bringing them back into line.[/QUOTE

Fixed a CTC-10 back in '73. Got her for 10 bucks. Recapped it and replaced the horizontal output,hor oscillator, rectifier and focus tube. Great picture Ran it for three years. It was a lot of fun.
