I love my old sets. I dont really like being referred to as 'old school.' Since when is 'new school' so much better? I have a feeling that I learned alot more in school than some did.
I worked for a shop back in the day that made a fortune on flyback replacements on RCA sets, along with lots of Magnavox sets. One of my jobs was flyback replacements, along with cleaning the shop, etc. I was having a ball, and learning.
Funny, we rarely saw a Zenith. Saw lots of Sylvania and Philco sets.
I've had my CTC-10C roundie since 1975, and its biggest problem was bad ground points on the PCB's, and cracks in the solder under tube sockets. I re-flowed the solder on the vertical PCB, and the horizontal oscillator PCB and cured all that was acting up on my set.
Other than a new 6AQ5 audio output about 5 years ago, and a new CRT in the mid '80's, maintenance has been minimal.
If I find one, I sure won't turn down a roundie set.
