CTC 28 Remote set Scored
 

I picked this up in Seattle for $4.00 It came with the remote and a color brochure
of the sets from it's time. It does have a cataract but I do have a extra tube that does not.. I will put in it for now. The tube in it has excellent emissions over 80 on all three guns and a quick worm up time so I will be doing the cataract removal trick on it. The Remote looks like it would use a AA batterie but it says use a RCA 1334 does anyone know if a AA batterie will work or what would?

Update... I replaced all the Electrolytic Caps and picture tube and all systems are go:banana: even the remote works with the AA Batterie. This set produces a verry nice picture to.

wow what an EXCELLANT score!!

Very nice set !!

RCA vs1334 are carbon-zinc AA batteries. Any AA batteries should work.

I love all the early remote sets!

Thanks for the Batterie advice the AA Batterie works

A television of the upper caste no doubt! :banana: I am thinking about how wonderful and beauty, but not as in the case of a woman!:thmbsp: No doubt it would be wonderful to be in awe of this sacred!!! :drool:

Yes.

RCA sets from this era can have as good a picture as later solid state sets. I am fond of them and this was a great score. Good to see it working so well too.

The flybacks are the weak point and the new old stock ones are all gone so make sure you check and adjust your cathode current. I have a ctc35 in that style cabinet that has an awesome picture too.

That looks like a very low hour set. I see it has the original CRT. I always changed the blue lateral/ purity assembly when the clamp rotted off.

It is low hours The circuit boards are clean and not all blackend like I have seen on other sets and a lot of original tubes in it. I was able to find a new clamp for the blue lateral to.

Yes, I always check the cathode current and use a dremel tool to cut a hole in the side of the flyback cage and add a fan to be sure it stays cool. I did this to my CTC 38 also and it can be on for hours and fly is barely warm.

That is a great looking set! I have a lot of these RCA tube type sets and would like to help preserve the flybacks...could you show how you add the fan to the flyback cage?

Here is my ctc38 with the fan on the fly nothing fancy I would like to do a pc fan but not sure it would keep it as cool.This fan works well and is quiet I have another on the other side to help keep the chassis cool to this set is my favorite cause it's just like the one my parents had when I was born so it gets a lot of use
and I want it to last a long time. I am lucky I do have an extra new old stock fly for this set just incase. Anyone know what flybacks will work in the ctc28 I would like to find an extra for it.

Thanks for showing how you did the fan.
