ctc-7 update
hey guys,i finally made it back from kansas,this set looks real nice,
the crt does test fine,that is one of the first things i did , i powered it up a few mins ago,it does have HV,but i did notice the h-out was turing red..time to pull the chassis and recap,this is what all this hobby is about.. ,it looks untouched and almost all tubes are RCA,except the focus rect,someone had replaced the 1V2 with a 2AV2...this could not be a common sub..??,any one have any input about this.. just curious.. i am tired.. so a bottle of wine before bed..then wakeup fresh..(hehe) and take out the chasiss and see what caps i can replace..thanks guys! terry

Good score Terry, sounds like a low mileage set!
Mine has about 300,000 on it I think  How can that 2AV2 possibly work right with half the heater voltage on it? I have lots of 1V2's if you need one. When will we see some pictures?  Eric

ctc-7
well,the cabinet is not as good as i wanted..i picked up the set in the dark and examined it in the garage this morning in day light,the top has a lot of marks and a tad of peeling..no rust or corrosion though!!
i have been replacing those odd value caps in the vert section,and in the horiz drive and hv area,interesting how those old caps test within the correct value.... fresh caps work the best..i have to order a lot of .047 mfd's and a lot of those! later guys terry

ctc-7 pic :)
hi guys.. here is what i got so far on the ctc-7 i picked up,i still have about all of the .047mfd caps to replace yet and a bad 6bn8,and others.. if you notice the left side is green is because i have one of the .047 caps cut in the drive circuit..i hope to have the rest of parts tomorrow...
i have the safety glass and brass parts removed for cleaning.. this totally different than my CT-100..(which works great) terry

CTC 7
That's a great "Anderson" you have there. The CTC 7 is a great chasis and the standard for the 9, 10,ad 11.
I just finished my Andeson this year, and am currently working on a CTC7 AC "Pensbury" model. I see from your posts that you have a CT-100. It must have been a great experience restoring it. I'll post some pictures soon!

Kirk,
Those sets are beautys! I really like the Pensbury to the right. I see you have the same wooden box RCA UHF converter as me. Ever consider how impossible it would be to set up a wall of these early color TV's so their color temperatures, etc., all tracked like they do in the big electronics superstores? Heck, it is hard to do with just two of these vintage color sets! In fact forget tracking, just try to get several all working at the same time! I tried to capture that stunt here with a CTC-16A and a CTC-20, but my digital camera saturated on the highlights. Rob
