Just never liked them...or ANY of the early C series sets. Besides the fact that they are hot chassis, the flybacks did NOT hold up too well in any of the C1-C6 sets. The C6 was cold--but had the same style fly as the older C series, IIRC.
A LOT of the problems I saw on the C-1 and C2 sets...besides Star module problems--was a dead set. They had a start-up transformer that ONLY produced a quick pulse, IIRC and a diode off of it often shorted---causing no start. Along with a good deal of flyback problems....but not NEAR as bad as the C-5 or E32,/34 and E51/53 sets--that went through flybacks like a ZR-1corvette goes through gas !!
I DO agree they did produce a nice pix--when working though. Along with somewhat easy to work on--compared to the C-3 and C-5ets.
