CTC5 Pickup!

Have you followed the instructions in the service manual for setting the screens and background controls? The directions are different than those for sets that have a service switch.

Thanks for the reply. I did go through the manual and got the brightness level settled in. Interesting relationship between the background and screen controls.

Setting convergence on this thing is a pain! I accidentally pushed a coil trimmer screw for one of the convergence settings past the threads. Watching the screen and twisting I didn't realize it was at the bottom of the threads already. Got to pull the chassis for that.

No color coming through. I adjusted the killer control but saw no change to the bars. I'll see what I can tweak from the topside but I'm assuming I'll be pulling the chassis for that too.

Tuner, IF, video, audio and the deflection all seem to be working. Darn chroma!

Thanks guys,
Matt Davala

Wish I was watching this in color! Vertical hold requires about half a dozen adjustments until it warms then its stable.

The tubes in the chroma section feel pretty darn hot. I think I remember that board looking toasty. I'll check resistors there tomorrow.
