Those are the pictures I took of 5 of the 6 running. Here I have attached a picture of the 6th-no, it wasn't too shy for the last photos, I just couldn't get back far enough to fit it in the picture! (CTC15, the one I've had the longest)
John, my CTC-5 has some quirks. I have almost entirely recapped it (missed some mostly in the audio section). Until it warms up it has problems related to contrast/brightness/agc/horizontal. I had been all through the hv/horiz section when first getting it to work but I feel the problem is probably in that general area. When all is right it can do a pretty good job, but maybe a little more washed out than the newer sets. If you look at the photo in the last post the 11 looks a little better than the 5 but in some other pics I did side-by-side the 5 looks better. In that 5-at-once pic it is hard to tell but the 5 really looks good compared to the rest, though I think the camera had much to do with that. Someday I will dig into it again. I am kind of afraid to jinx it as getting it to work was quite an ordeal.
Doug, the model number on the 11 is 212 G 805 MV. It uses a seperate safety glass-I guess a bonded tube was an option then or else was about to be made standard. Mine has a rebuild with a bonded glass. |
Thanks for that info. Bryan! Again your sets are great! The color and picture on your CTC15 is fantastic! There is nothing like watching a round tube color set with that rich vivid color! Your CTC5 in your other photo had a very nice picture though you mentioned in had some "quirks"... looks great to me!
