Emerson 1232 score

[vt105]

As a matter of fact I already do

You're right about the CRT. The RCA & Emerson both use the 8DP4.

I also have one of the 8" RCA sets but after what I've read they are a nitemare

to service. It's on the way back burner for now but from what I remember

it had a bright raster so if the Emerson CRT doesn't pan out......hmmmmm

Sourced a Vertical Output Xformer. Replaced a few wax caps, and after a few

control tweaks was rewarded with video & audio.

Not perfect but watchable

Good feeling to see it working again

I have two of the RCA ones. I used one back in their day (1963) as the set in
my college dorm room. My suitemate, however, had a CTC-7.

Thye are not in fact hard to service. They are modular and the wires are
long enough so they work disassembled. The only nasty problem I ever had
was a bad socket for the HV rectifier, which I replaced with an NTE silicon one.

Well I decided to dig out my dormant RCA 8-PT-7012 to see what gives.

Just like before it still doesn't work very well

So I'll be posting a thread of its own
