Daughter moved into room in basement which was storing the CTC38, it either had to go, or had to go back into service.
Your CTC39 certainly did get me thinking about it though. Mine has a replacement RCA CRT which seems to have been installed right before the owner stopped using the set - on account of this, the picture is just fantastic - a big difference from the worn out tubes I usually find in old sets.
It does have some kind of intermittent issue where the picture loses lock for a second, but then it comes back. It seems to happen before the set reaches full operating temperature - it stabilizes after it has been on for over half an hour. I'm living with it for now, there's likely a bad solder or something in there.
