oooh, I hate the ctc169 series. the wobbly gears gave out alot on those. LOL.


anyway, i hated those for the stupid shitcan of a HV splitter, and the poor capacitors used in the power supply. whole mess of trouble. and the blue caps always went out in the pincussion taking out the HOT.


ive prolly fixed a zillion of those PTK169s. always the HV splitter, the two SMPS controller caps, and the blue cap near the HOT.

ive occasionally had to replaced the flybacks on these. but very rare that they die. mostly excessive b+, again, caused by the SMPS and poor capactors running it off frequency. I have alot of experiance with the 169s, and lately the 185s. I have a 167 thats giving me hell.


and im 19. ive been doing this since I was 14.
