Well with the back off the CTC-9 I see it looks pretty good in there. If found a repair slip inside and apparently the picture tube was replaced on 4/22/6??? with a 21FBP22 (I wish I could see that last and most important of all digits). I know this tube doesn't have the deep reds like the original 21CYP22 but looking on the bright side this tube might have 5 to 10 years less life on it.

A question for you guys, there are these maroon colored plastic capacitors on all over the top of the chassis, are these simply paper caps in disguise or are these more reliable like vintage versions of orange drops?

I will start with replacing all the electrolytics before I attempt any to apply any power.


By the way, the two sets in the background of the picture on top are my round-screen 1955 Westinghouse Laundomat Twins. I had to replace a tube or two to bring those babies back to full working order.
