Good old NTSC.
14 weeks of work, and too anxious to spend 5 seconds turning the "TINT" knob! (ROTFL). SERIOUSLY, Yoda, an absolutely beautiful achievement, perfect in every detail. I doubt any 21CT55 looked this good on the factory floor 54 years ago. Congrats on a job well done, and thanks for sharing the story and the photos with us. Rob

the set needs a setup, that's all...
With that early and now rebuilt 21AXP22 Bob's using, which should have the same phosphor as a 15GP22, the set will perform as well as a CT-100
 stay tuned

Wow. We're not worthy, we're not worthy. How can anybody like a flat panel tv after seeing such a beautiful example of industrial design. That is a remarkable restoration. We should all be able to do half as well. I love the brass trim and emblems.
The tube cap looks like it is made from a plastic microwavable instant soup bowl. Am I right?

Ezzacly. That bad boy's from what, 1955 ? 54 years old...Reckon anybody will get the Warm Fuzzies over the latest 2009 54" wunderkind plasmaticHDTV thingy in 2063, assuming ANY of 'em are still around then-Which I doubt...But I guarantee if you "fire up" that '55 TV in 2063, you'll have a throng of people eager to see it...An' I see no reason why it wouldn't STILL work...

Welcome to the "My 21CT55 Lives" club!
Bob....Great restoration, probably the best of all 21CT55 posted. I wonder how many of the 16 or so known 21CT55s are owned by this forum's members, operating or not? I would like to get a current accounting of members that have them and their intentions regarding proper restorations like yours. Mine is alive but is not a restoration, not even a "red-neck" attempt. I'd like to see more screen shots' possibly from the "Digital Video Essentials" evaluation DVD thru a good modulator after you get yours optimally setup....Tom
