CTC-16 combo

[DaveWM]

oh yes much fun, I have to say this hobby keeps me sane this time of year.

I did manage to check that one CRT grid coupling cap (it was very dark in color unlike the other two) sure enough it was weak on the cap tester. Prob would not have made a diff but what the heck. when I get some time I am going to go thru my pulls and see if I can find some tube for the shorted ones.

The HV has a leak from one of the HV tube filament leads to the HV case. I am going to just get some plastic and dress it away for a temp trial.

cleand up some gunk off the front bezel, looks better already, looked like years of smokers tar accumlation. Got most of the tubes from my stash still need a few more, I am sure I have them, just have to dig. I am trying to use up my stash of pulls, saving the NOS since they are boxed and neatly stored.

I am tempted to get some silicone caulk and carefully coat the filament leads around where it was arcing. It would be easy to get at since it was in the middle of the lead coming down from the HV cup (mounted on top RCA style).
