I've got a CTC-7 and a CTC-15 in the middle of my living room. Need to find a permanent place to display them.

Not the best purchase I've made, but it seems to have a lot of hope.

I don't know, the Tuner only partially works on this set, but it fades out and away after awhile. I copied the A/V mod Electronic M performed on my other Roundy, so I can use it.

Convergence is a little off, simply because I am not good at setting it at all yet. Still learning how to perfect that skill.

Vertical is decent.

Horizontal is good.

Picture Tube is bright and very sharp.

Colors are okay. I think the tube that decodes color is weak. Once it warms up a little, color pops right in and looks good.

Flyback is clean, and makes no unusual smells or noises. No arcing or anything.

Besides the flaws, the set works like this, and is completely original, which that alone I think is pretty cool. I'm going to start changing capacitors after I get my other set in order first. One color at a time. This can be watched as is, but I won't ever leave it unattended.





I will state; The picture is not nearly as crisp or bright when it's being fed an A/V signal versus the signal from the internal tuber. Before the tuber kicked the bucket, I did get to see how it looked and it was pretty crisp.
