The CTC-5 Made it to Germany already!

Eckhard. That is wonderful. Such a Great picture on that set. looks to me you know what you are doing. If i recall correctly. I put the chassis on it's side. The hi volt cage on the bottom. The yoke wires are short but you can turn the chassis so the wires reach. Please look out for the yoke socket. It moves when you plug the yoke in or out. {Not mounted to well} Convergence wires. hi volt and the crt wires should be long enough. {please be careful of the crt}. Also connect a ground wire to the ground tabs up front were the chassis slides in. For extra protection you can use rope or wire to hold the chassis in place. Tie one end to the chassis and the other to the cabinet. { like when you tie the christmas tree to the wall so the cat can not knock it over} This may sound strange, but Next to the transformer park I want you to build a test meter park. One meter for b+. One for horz current and your hi volt probe. Once you know all the readings are ok {horz-reg current,} Put the chassis back in the cabinet, Hook up the meters and run the set for 15 minutes. Check the readings, shut the set off ,discharge the high voltage {ground wire to the 3a3} and put your hand on the flyback{ It should not be hot}. Turn the set back on and do it again. This time run it for 30 minutes. then 45 etc. When you hit 60 minutes the fly will be warm not hot. check your meter readings. Look out for drift:{ big changes in current reading, b+ and hi voltage} I like watching the meters. How the readings change with the action of the picture or when the set warms up. Do this for a week or so . get a feel how the set runs. That way you know there is not a problem. I had meters on mine for a month . The ctc 5 runs like a bitch once you get the bugs out of them. I haven't had to do any thing to mine in years. Such a cool tv .
