Looks very promising.

You are showing incredible restraint in not hooking up a DVD player yet. I doubt I could have waited this long to see some motion on the screen, hear some sound, etc.

Gorgeous, gorgeous, simply Gorgeous!

Those are the best looking bars I have seen. Most CT-100s start out too blue, which is easy to do because of the wide difference in drive/beam current needed in the red gun to make illuminant C (daylight white). The green usually requires a bit more current than the blue also, I believe. There also can be weak tubes in the matrix that mess up the color.

As was heard in the Zenith lab when RCA introduced the early chassis, "27 controls, each one making it worse!"

A nice time machine. Love that Lollipop color. Beautiful CT-100. Top of the Merrill crop. Thanks for sharing your journey.

Wait till I actually set the thing up- the CRT needs to be degaussed, and I haven't converged it yet either. Oddly I seem to have stumbled across a set of screen pot settings that were correct when the I channel was still dead, guess it was just dumb luck. Anyhow, this set will have to get put on the back burner again temporarily. I have a power point presentation to get ready for the ETF meet, and the proto chassis is being shipped to Hilliard this week.
