Hi Phil,

thank you very much for your wonderful presentation and documentation of your CT-100 project. It is well-weighted in pictures and words, and your success with the set is stunning! BTW, I like also you other documentations on your website, your Motorola VT-73 (VT-71) project was the first, which I found on the web and gave me high valuable hints for my own restoring project.

Kind regards,
Eckhard

FANTASTIC Phill! Your attention to detail in documenting the process of your restoration is a marvel to behold. Your web site has a wealth of information. I have often thought of having a web site to document my projects. But life is too short and I have much to do before the final curtain and I find it more rewarding to read your wonderful web site.

Outstanding Job Phill! Keep up the great work. You are a credit to our hobby!

Phil,

I can only echo the praise the other members have posted. Wonderful step by step documentation. The side trip to your CTC-11 restoration was also filled with great info and restoration tips.

Thanks,
-Steve D.

I depend a lot on the kindness of others, in this forum and elsewhere. The CTC-11 project is a good example. A guy contacted me, wanting to trade his TV for something else I wasn't using. I said, "Sure, sounds fun," not really knowing what I was getting into. I had done b/w TVs before, but never thought of trying a color set.

Soon after getting the TV, I looked at a diagram in Sams and posted a question here, saying something like, "Hey, I can't find these adjusters -- what's the deal?" I learned that I was missing these mysterious things known as convergence assembly & purity rings, and a forum member then gave me the parts I needed! That's when I realized it was time for some serious homework.

Phil
