Back in around 1971 I and a friend was trying to repair an RCA CTC19 set. After replacing a width or some such coil in the horizontal, we got it going except for no color. ANyway, while poling around I noticed that the horizontal output tube plate cap looked to be falling off, and reached to push it back down. You can guess what the result of that was.
SOmewhere in the IF I found a transformer with about 70 volts across its primary. Which might explain the loss of color, but for some reason we didn't follow up on this. Eventually the chassis got thrown out, but the cabinet is still around. Anyone need a floor console cabinet for a CTC19?
