The CRT has very good emission good horizontal deflection I can see that the
vertical output circuit has bad linearity and may have some bad caps
also no sound and a blank raster but can get good color test pattern and sound by injecting IF signal with a Sencore VA62
So far just checked and have around 268vdc to the tuner and also changed the 3HA5
I also know that these TVs can eat up a 24LQ6 and the Horiz. efficiency coil real quick.
I never thought I would be restoring one of these, Maybe I'm not the collector snob I use to be.

I have one of those, an ex-hotel set. Not exactly my dream RCA. I also have a similar smaller CTC51K, 14" set. Both of those models have the low voltage focus CRT. Even if the tube checks good, when they're a little older the focus is rather poor.
Isn't there really good sets around your place for free or very cheap?
