My main daily watcher is my CTC15 Beauchamp. It plays all the time... and many times I'm not even in there watching it. That's a bad habit i need to break.

This set was pieced together using 3 sets. Cabinet from one, chassis from another, and the last set donated the picture tube (which I took to Dallas for rebuild). The main chassis repair was a new flyback. Since then, I've only had to change a 6GH8A... I think it was a month ago when the color crapped out.

Unfortunately, about five days ago, I turned it on to find a hum bar in the picture and sound. Not good. The lytics are still the originals... so I suspect one of them went south. Perhaps I'll luck out and find a tube developed a H-K short.

The photo below of the screen shot came out that way due to bad timing... I snapped the shutter just as the picture was changing. I decided to keep the photo because I thought it looked somewhat ghostly and it was kinda neat looking.
