CTC-5 update. Got a beefier variac and a few replacement fuses for the horizontal sweep output circuit. Powered the set back up at 115 volts and measured the current on the horizontal circuit. Was reading 230 mA. I hear it should be around 190. So need to adjust the horizontal efficiency coil. However, the coil is frozen up solid. Need to pull the chassis and try hitting the coil with a hair dryer or heat gun to free it up so I can properly adjust it.

Also need to figure out a way to secure one of the dynamic convergence control pots to the chassis. The locking tabs that did secure the pot were broken off and the pot just hangs by its wires. Makes it virtually impossible to adjust while set is playing. IIRC, it is the blue gun control (Tilt and Amp). Will work on these two issues over the next few days.
