Another RCA CT-100 discovery B8001599

If you need the large roundie socket I have an extra one for the B&K 467.

Thanks for the tip. I have a box of BK467 sockets I will look thru.

I found an old label attached to the CRT leads.

The label reads Judd Electronic and the address is 16931 Schoolcraft.

I Googled Judd Electronic and nothing. I did find on Google Maps a Schoolcraft Road from just across the Canada US border where the set was found. Looks as if it was an early Detroit color tv.

You will see the label below, a Google map shwing a red dot to the right where I picked up the set and the Google Maps flag where 16931 Schoolcraft Road is. And finally the empty building where once stood Judd Electronic.

I believe (and don't quote me on this as roads in Michigan and Indiana use very different naming conventions) that the name "Schoolcraft Road" refers to the fact that if you follow the road long enough it will eventually take you to a Village called Schoolcraft, Michigan (which is between Three Rivers and Kalamazoo, Michigan on US 131 N.)

But like I said I don't know if that's why that road was named that or not, because like I said, in Indiana a road that was named after a nearby town was named that because that road would eventually take you to that town if you followed it long enough, which like I said I don't know if Michigan followed that rule or not when naming their roads.

Just my two wheat pennies worth.

Interesting story about Schoolcraft Road. I will study the map!

Yesterday dismantled the rusty loudspeaker and put the frame into an electrolysis bath. Painted the frame silver this morning and will wait a couple of weeks before reassembling. Spent last night and this evening documenting and photographing the front chassis section which suffered from the mice next. I have removed the front chassis and have begun dismantling it. Fortunateltly pretty weel all the rust is around the first video IF stage and the audio amplifier. I shall concentrate cleaning this section up before proceeding to the rest of the chassis.

Your B&K socket is likely the 14-pin one, that is what my 467 included and what fit all of the 21-inch round color CRTs. The 15GP22 needs a similar size but 20-pin socket. I would very much like to have one of those if I could find one; I either made an adapter with a bunch of alligator clip leads, or I just used loose clip leads, when I tested my 15GP22.

Penthode, this will be a great project!
