Holy re-cap-a-thon, Batman....




And that's only about 90% done with the paper ones, I haven't even started on the power supply lytics. For that, I need the Sams to arrive so I don't f*ck something up. There seems to be a quad a 200uf@300v caps right in the middle of the main chassis, and a slew of others strewn about the chassis. I count 16 or so, not counting the random 4uf ones for the video circuits that I already replaced.

You can tell that Sylvania had to change a few things to avoid RCA running them down for patent infringement. For example the demod driver tube in the CTC-4 is a 6AG7 type, and here there's a 6CL6. In the audio section where the CTC-4 uses a 6AQ5 output, this set has a 6W6GT. It'll be interesting to do a head to head with my Director 21, to see which is the better performer.
