It's in the queue. Right now I'm making one CTC-5 out of two, finishing a total recap on a CTC-15, and diagnosing a hot plating horizontal output on a '68 Silvertone Silver Sentry color. Hoping to have all of those knocked out within a week.....then the Radiola goes back on the bench

It's working!

Would've been an interesting experiment to jump the secondaries, but no matter how I looked at it I couldn't figure out where I'd mount the second transformer. I let discretion be the better part of valor and picked up a used SPU (Socket Power Unit, or power chassis) on ebay for about $35 that claimed to have proper tested voltages.

Installed it in the radio, and bingo! Seems my diagnosis was right on the money.....I'm listening to the news on it right now
