RCA CTC...Something? poor HV output.

[Arcanine]

I'm not sure which CTC chassis it has. Originally I wanted an RCA to begin with, and I ended up with one today. I'm selling both of my Zenith's to Jim.

It's a New Vista set, Model GF 631, if someone knows which CTC this is, that would be awesome!

The high voltage is very poor. If the probe I have is accurate at all, the set is only producing around 12kV. It does display a picture, even though the voltage is poor. Adjusting the HV Output only changes it 1kV or 2KV, not much adjustment.

I don't hear any arcing in the flyback box, and there is some melted wax, but no carbon tracking so the flyback isn't arcing out. I don't have any spare tubes for this kind of set. I'd like to know where to start before I have to suffer the pain of ordering them all on ebay.

It worked fine about a year ago, and it's just been sitting since. I have all the pictures of it. I'll post them below.


The pictures below show it was working a year ago and how it looked, a year ago.
