Surprisingly this set uses simple burst-excited crystal for phase locked subcarrier (a feature of minimalist 60's designs like the PortaColor). Works excellently.
The HUE control with a knurled brass knob can be seen hidden from the customer (for good reason?) on lower back panel. It's a shielded vari-cap that rotates continuously.
Twin "Coke Bottle" 6CD6 Horiz O/P only draw a meager combined 1/5-A
Now have CTC-5 hooked up to Zenith Test CRT (2nd pix) - it's more trouble than the GE !
