CTC-101. Pretty sure it is NOT a modular set.. Hot chassis, SCR reg..

Going "all white with retrace"...sounds like you may be losing the video bias supply--intermittently. This is what is often called the "200 volt line", or such. It usually comes from the flyback. THINK...there MAY be a small choke or two...that intermittently opens..allowing the three video drivers ALL to 'float towards ground."..and then the raster will go white w/retrace and in many sets...shut down.

ALso...there should be a "luminance buffer or driver" transistor, somewhere on the chassis...and if it goes leaky or shorts...the result will be similar.

DO NOT believe this is a CRT issue--since all 3 guns are doing this . If it was the tube..ONE color would be going full-on, if a cathode was going shorted(or socket on CRT.)
