I've been following this thread, I'm about to tackle my Wingate chassis in a few weeks (finally!  ). After studying a lot of early color set designs, I found it really weird that the schematic has 19.5Kv going to the anode while all others are 21-25Kv. I guess RCA was experimenting with different methods and I'm glad this one was only done on the CTC5. I agree with you, Dave. I think when I get into my chassis, I'll just make sure everything is as it should be and live with it. The only thing I'm thinking about doing is that contrast mod just to see what happens. It seems that the mod works better on some sets than it does on others.
