Nice 10 or 11? on eBay

Very heavy but a beautiful piece. Lately it started having some hor sync stability probs but still watchable. great set for a collector

Does the -10 use the dual diodes in the horiz circuit, like the CTC-11? On my -11 I was having trouble with a very touchy horiz hold, and eventually it wouldn't sync at all. New diodes (I think I had a NOS dual) fixed it right up.

I own a CTC10 Remote, early american maple and it is like the day it came off the line at RCA. I paid $50 for it. Has the original 21cyp and it tests like new.

I made this guy an offer of $100 and he turned it down. He is delusional if he thinks he is going to get big bucks for it.

I think I paid 50 dollars for mine from craigslist. I recapped it and it worked fine for many hours then, I heard a little spark in it and since that, it has that sync problem. Thanks for the advice, I will check the diodes

This did it, I replaced the diodes and it works fine now. I never knew diodes could go weak for a while before failing. It did have a very touchy sync and then, nothing at all. We learn everyday. Thanks for the tip
