EDIT: LOL, I actually *remember* the last CTC16 I ever handled! It was somewhere about 1977 or so and I swapped it (with a new picture tube) for some minor body work on my 1973 Gran Torino. Johnny's Auto Body on West Main St. in Waterbury CT!!

Thanks! If I still have AC getting in where it should not even after doing 100% of electrolytic caps, there are tubes I can pull like the damper, HOT and osc, HV regulator even.
