Fun on a Saturday Afternoon

[Tom S]

Just spent the afternoon tweaking my CTC10. Soldered some connections on the audio board to clear up a hum and fade problem. Did a full convergence on it too, Not bad if I do say so myself.

The name is Friday....Joe Friday.

Excellent picture. Love it!

[Tom S]

Thanks guys. Just bringing out the old in me. Still love the finess to get a great picture on these old sets. New electronics is not a real thrill any more.

Nothing better that classic material on a quality TV. Good Job.

BTW- Did color look different on a 21CYP22 versus a 21FBP22 ??

A retired TV guy I used to work with would keep saying

Jack Webb owned the "Dragnet" series, & was notoriously cheap-He & Harry Morgan wore the same clothes for virtually EVERY show for the 4 year run, saving on costume costs, and furthermore, footage from any show could be used on virtually any other show, w/no loss of continuity. A number of the "Guest Stars" on "Dragnet" were Webb's friends, drinking buddies, & cohorts-He even got ex-wife Julie London to star in "Emergency !", along w/her 2nd husband, Bobby Troup.

Yes there is a color diffrenance between the two. I believe the phosphors are diffrent on the FBP crt.

Good grief Sandy, so I'm not the only one who remembers junk like that? ;-)

[Sandy G]

Nope. Its sorta a blessing/curse to remember stuff like this...On the one hand, some people look at you as some sort of a God, able to remember stuff...Most of the time, though, I think you're looked on as pretentious, or at worst, a Crashing Bore...Another downside, for me, anyway, is that I'm NEVER able to completely "Turn it Off"...And while I think stuff like this is kinda neat, there's absolutely NO way to make any money offa it, unfortunately.

Old Tv is my game, Tv trivia is too. Just can't shake the old shows. Even better on an old tv far as I'm concerned.
