Ctc-16

nice cabinet, I am going to have to make a cabinet for my the old one is still wrapped up, termites are contained (i hope) but the damage is severe.

right now I am leaning toward a simple ply box with veneers and maybe some nice thin med long legs (the kind that screw on, nice if I can find some with a brass lower half). I sure would like to reproduce something nice like yours but my wood working is limited.


what do you think about the color code problem on that one section? ever run into something like that?

Here's what my manual has for the TMA96 - hope it helps with the tuner woes.

Cheers,

Wow, Ed! That's a nice looking 16!

I had one similar a few years back, but the top of the cabinet was in pretty bad shape due to getting wet for a very long time. It was a remote set. I gave it to Rich since he was tinkering with rebuilding cabinets back then.

seems the caps are fine, full voltage quickly, no heat, so I plugged in all the tubes and will hook up the crt/yoke/convergence bd tonight for a full power up. I will monitor the B+ current still.


will do this all later today, will post the results later.
wish me luck...

since I had the sams resistance tables I started check some, on the vert tube I had an odd reading on of the pins, noticed it was the vert hold, no big its just the position of the pot, move the pot and I get wild swings. check the pot and indeed it must be very dirty, so will clean up the pot before powering it up. I am just a bit paranoid about that vertical circuit

This was the first color roundie I saw with the swivel base so I had to buy it and rebuild it. The one side of the cabinet was facing a patio door so the finish is not so great but a good cleaning and some old English fixed it. Most of the tme I do not mess with the cabinets on the old tv's other than cleaning and polish. I would make the problem much worse if I got out the sand paper and such.

I will check it out. Are those replacement signal diodes I see for the Se?

ah I see it, on mine, do you have a 1NXXXX recommedation? I have some 1N60s germanium if you think they would be a better match that silcon signal diodes.
