CT-100 on eBay

[Eric H]

A 15GP22 CRT can have a silver getter and still be gassy enough to not work.Here's an example from the ETF Site

I believe this was a rebuild that failed shortly after it was done.

Corona discharge in the HV cage and loss of HV would normally alarm me, but based on what I've seen here at the convention I'm no longer alarmed at CT-100's that do it.... 2 of the operating ones (one of which is a model 5) give off enough ozone to clean all the air in the building. lol

Bump!

2.5 hours left, and no takers!

What is the slightly darker rectangular area on the front panel under the control door?

[Phil Nelson]

It's a snap-out wooden panel, which conceals more controls. If you scroll down (and down, and down) in this article, you can see it in various pics.

Went bidless.

I sent him an email, let's see if there is a response.

Probably nothing?? look at the ballast resistor just above the area
where the cover is tilted down,there is a black spot.
Possible short????

I heard through the grapevine that the seller accepted an offer for slightly less than the intial bid and that it will be picked up today.

I'll let the people who are more directly involved post the full details because after stories get passed along sometime things get muddy.

If only I had a couple of thousand and lived on the east coast

If the ecconomy gets worse and prices drop who knows, maybe I'll be able to get or piece together a merrill on my shoe-string collecting budget.

East coast won't help you much on this one...

[Electronic M]

OOPS! That is one of the worst typos I've made yet.

[Tom Albrecht]

Well, one thing I can say is that it is not me. Thought I should clarify that since I am geographically close and was at least ever so slightly interested if the price had gone a lot lower.

[miniman82]

If so, it wan't me. He didn't reply to any of my messages. Hope one of us gets it though!

I am the guy who made a deal to buy the CT-100 after no one bid on it. I could not afford to spend the opening bid amount, so I made a deal for a lower amount that was acceptable to the seller, and I picked up the set tonight.

Details:
-The front panel insert is not #472, but is #733, 753, or 793. It has had some holes drilled in its inside surface to make room for the shafts of some replacement pots that were added, and one of them is through part of the stamped number. Two of the original dual-shaft pots have been replaced by a total of four new pots, visible in a picture that I will post later.

-Some work was done on the HV section. A solid-state replacement was installed for the 3A3 rectifier; it later went bad and a tube was put in again. Another tube was replaced by a solid-state diode as well, apparently; I will investigate further. I will post a picture later.

-The set has a temporary back panel that is from a Zenith Service-Saver TV. Again, a picture will follow.

Here is my first try at inserting a picture. Please let me know if the size is appropriate.

Congratulations on the acquisition!

I understand that someone tried to test the CRT. Any word on the results?
