RCA 21CT55 #8802897 is Dead

[RobtWB]

bummer - from the photographs you have posted that set produced an absolutely amazing picture
just a thought - since the set is heavily modified already, are there any flyback transformers for other sets that are close in specifications to the original? i know the ctc-2 and 2b chassis' are somewhat unique in their design - but i would think there should be something close in the early RCA line - hell there may be something in the 60's or 70's tube driven or SS sets from other manufacturers that are close in specifications - certainly no real need to keep it original -

BTW - i know where there sits a roundie that i have been thinking about snatching and doing just what you have done to the 25ct55 - improving it exponentially - with a few modifications - i know the purists will get up in arms - but hells bells it is just an old television - it certainly isn't like painting a moustache on the Mona Lisa
