Keep your fingers crossed that I find a vehicle to borrow for a few hours. I'm also getting an apartment to put it in tomorrow too, it looks like things are finally starting to get better for me. On another note, a CTC-24 is being delivered to me tomorrow. My back hurts already but at least I'm smiling  |
I'm happy for you that you found an apartment and the CTC11/CTC24, but I think you'll probably be plenty busy for weeks, months or even longer (!) just getting settled in your apartment once you get there, with little time to think about TV repairs. I remember when I moved to my small apartment 12 years ago, it took me all of a year to get settled -- mainly because I had brought a huge pile of stuff with me from where I formerly lived; most of that (almost all of which was odds and ends for which I had no room in my then-new apartment) got put out for the trash. (I'm still throwing out junk, mostly outdated paperwork, from years ago to this day.) Thank goodness my new furniture had arrived (I bought all new furniture when I came here) and was in place in my apartment when I finally moved in.
BTW, I hope you get both TVs working when you find the time to get to them. The CTC11 dates to the '60s, IIRC, while the CTC24, again IIRC, is probably from the early '70s, with UHF. Unless your area has one or more LPTV or translator stations on UHF channels, that tuner will be just about useless, of course, with the VHF tuner being set on channel 3 or 4 to receive the output from either a cable box or an ATSC->NTSC OTA converter box.
Good luck.
