Tom, sure.... if you happen to see one, grab it for me. I have a pretty good selection of RCA knobs here... some still in the package... but just don't have this particular one.

Got some progress going here. I've managed to get a pretty healthy raster. The brightness has to be turned up nearly 3/4 of the way before you start to get it, but hey at least it's a start.

Not so cool: The HV shuts off after about 5 or 10 minutes... just goes away... POOF. If I shut the set off, wait a minute, turn back on... everything is fine. However, I haven't left it on for the second round to see what happens... I just shut it off because I'm sure something in there is stressing out and I'll find it later when I pulled the chassis out again.

Still no signal. I did happen to notice that the AGC pot is reading way off spec. Sams says it's supposed to be a 1 meg pot, but seems I could barely get 90k out of it. I will go back and double check that later. I can also make comparisons with another ctc9 I have that does play.

Still plenty to do in there, but have to set aside today and do other things.
