what next

Here is the 7, I really like the mask on this one.

Go for the 7! Mine worked beautifully after only a basic recap. Some day I'll go back and do a complete setup (convergence, etc.) but the picture looks so good that I'm not very motivated.

Did that "tabletop" come with spindly wooden screw-on legs like my CTC-11, or was is truly intended only for tabletop use?

It has the place for the legs but did not have them when I got it. also does not have a back, so I will end up making one (from perf metal).

Hi All;
Maybe you could use naval-jelly like Admiral Bob.. But, of course you'll have to check and see if it only works on Admirals..
THANK YOU Marty

I vote for the 7, too. I have the same model (the Abington) in faux mahogany. It's also missing the back. When you come to fabricating one for yours, I'd like to compare notes.

Mine also came with no legs and I didn't think that it had the threaded holes to accept them, but if yours does mine probably does too. I'll have to check.

Good luck,

Clark

wow that is a nice looking 7 you have there Clark.

The CYP22 it came with had an open red Filament (which is when I put it on the back burner). I have an extra CRT for it, just not a dual anode CYP.

Thanks! I should have mentioned that I got it working thanks to you, Phil and several other helpful folks here on VK. You spotted that I had installed a wrong value cap on the horizontal board. It's my one and only roundie

Too bad about the open red filament on the CYP. I'm glad that you have a spare CRT.
