It wasn't the actual tuner, but the crazy gearing design. The chassis design was good, but they were hard on flybacks. I have a year newer set, where there was slight differences, a CTC28. By the looks of the set, it appears that it was maintained under contract, by RCA Service Company. It has a rebuilt CRT, stating RCA Service Co. It seems that they were getting their replacement CRT's from a third party supplier, instead of RCA parts devision. |

You can get 9 to 12 volt DC wall-wart power supplies for very little cost, probably less than a cheap 9 volt battery would cost. |

Thanks for the info, DieselJeep. What do you mean the CTC-25 is hard on flybacks? They run hot? All the more reason to install a fan I guess.

What I'd do is rectify the heater string (or feed it to a voltage doubler) to power the fan....It's less bulky, and comes on with the set, and I can make one out of the stuff in my junk box anytime.

Thanks, Electronic M. I'll ask Danny what he thinks of that idea. It certainly would be more convenient than having to plug in a wall wart every time I use the set.

For a fan get a muffin fan off an old piece of
test equiptment. Most run on 120 VAC & will move tons of air. FBT's were common to melt then burn in these. To move line trunk with blanket, put in face down. Make it so the lid cant come down & hit the CRT. If you are lucky & have a Roadmaster it may go all the way in especially if the legs come off. Also pull knobs off. A lot of sets came in & out this way & never lost a jug. 73 Zeno |

I have a LeSabre. The plan is to take the CRT out and put the cabinet sideways in the back seat. We tried the trunk - no chance of it fitting in there.

I remember Danny telling me that there was remote control version of the manual tuner in this TV. If that's the case, I wonder if it's possible to replace the manual tuner with a remote tuner? That would be sweet.

I got this TV from Danny today. I made a miscalculation when I thought it would fit in the back seat. That was not going to happen. So we had to improvise.

It sure does! I assume that's a screen shot after you got everything all put back together?
