What was the condition of the mains and the flyback transformer when you started restoring the set?

Greetings Josef
Flyback is a replacement, and works very well and it runs nice and cool. I believe the original flyback design was not very good because many CTC4 chassis have replacement flybacks.

The power transformer is likely a replacement also. The positioning of the lead wires from the transformer do not look the way they would look if it was a factory original transformer. Power transformer was very rusty, but I cleaned off all the rust and repainted it with black enamel.

Happy that you enjoyed my web site which is still a work in progress.
