RCA CTC2B Peaking Coils
My 21CT55 with 21FBP22A is now fully operational as an external composite video monitor. Convergence is acceptable, and the color is quite vivid and bright. I can switch the input between DVD and C-Band NTSC or 4DTV satellite with no correction of contrast, brightness, hue and chroma required.
Only real problem is in the video amp response. There's a lack of fine detail and lots of ringing present in the picture. I strongly suspect the numerous video peaking coils I had to replace that were open. I used approximate equal value generic coils which have iron or ferrite cores with low Self-Resonance-Frequency. All of the original RCA coils were multi-section universal pi winding on phenolic cores which had a higher SRF and bigger physical size. I very much would like to get a set of original RCA OEM or at least the same non-iron coil configuration as the original RCAs.
Bourns-Miller seem to have the most promising selection, but indicate they only have a few values inventoried at Mouser Electronics. Do any of you guys have access to these obsolete coils? Any leads will be greatly appreciated......Tom
