I know the Thordarson guide I have has resistance specs, maybe windings.

The achilles heel of RCA has always been the flybacks, and i made sure I had a spare lined up for any set I owned, except for a CTC76 XL100 set. As little as I run my CTC16, the only failure has been the focus coil and a seized efficiency coil.
