Hi: If you have an original RCA schematic (maybe on Sams, also) for the CTC-5's, look closely at the CRT drawing. You will see that the "shroud" is also the filter capacitor for the high voltage supply, with a coating (auqadag?) inside and outside of the plastic base material. Deterioration of the plastic, particularly in the area of the mounting hardware, no doubt might cause arcing. I have a 5-N on which I just finished chassis work. I will now be faced with the HV problem. I plan to de-mount all CRT hardware, remove the shroud, and inspect for pinholes, etc., and will have HV putty, and corona dope on hand. I will post any info that might help. What a mess!!
