I can imagine you guys were wanting to pull your hair out while trying to deal with the CT100!

"We're so close... so close... and now we have to deal with chassis issues!!"

You guys get the gold star this week... that's for sure! Those pics are great!

Wow that is just fantastic news! We all knew you guys could do it!

One question, Was this the same gun that went through the partial rebuild previously when the stem broke? or was this another gun assembly?

After more tweaking ......
Bob and I have spent some time tweaking the Westinghouse 15" color set driving the rebuilt 15GP22. While there are still some unexplained purity defects, mainly in the reg/green domain, when displaying a color picture these artifacts are less noticeable

We are going to declare victory.

Bob and I have now move on to playing with the Mitsubishi Trinescope color TV. Bob has given a demo course in can capacitor re-stuffing, and we are just about ready to give the little set a try.
