We were talking about the earth's magnetic field, NOT circumstances like that.

I agree, and I think that's what I said.

Julian, You do recall the content of previous posts before you post? You also repeated my comments on post #15 re: the TK-40-41 color camera setup. Just checking.

Sorry Steve,

I do type alot and just slipped my mind. I was looking under "Rotary Converters" and there was that paragraph with no reference. I was making a reference that the Sullivan Theater was not bothered much after they worked out a solution. Someone started this thread saying that the color cameras were affected by the earth's magnetic field for which they are not really bothered (practical sense) if any and they got off on that tangent about the rotary converter house off Broadway in NYC which has nothing to do with the earth's field, an isolated incident.

I scanned the RCA CTC2 manual loaned by reeferman and added it to the reference portion of my CT-100 design article:

http://antiqueradio.org/RCACT-100TelevisionDesign.htm

Here's a direct link to the 16-megabyte manual:

Sure enough, this manual tells the dealer how to install the 15GP22 CRT, which was shipped in a separate carton. As Charles noted, another carton in the lower cabinet space contained the yoke, purity coil, & whatnot.

This 40-page manual has more content than the shorter RCA Field Service Manual section for the CT-100. I haven't yet compared the two to look for little differences in material that's duplicated (the schematic, for instance).

Thanks, reeferman. I'll send the original back in a day or two.

On page 9, the crt diagram on the right hand side of the page should be rotated 180 degrees. Hopefully, the tech did not use this diagram for assembly.
