Save a CTC-92
As some may have noticed, I have been dragging home a bunch of solid state stuff lately. Just something to tinker with-I'm not ready to dig into something tough like a full recap on a 10” set. This latest set to come my way, via freecycle, is a 1980 RCA CTC-92 console. Direct-entry digital tuning, no remote, delta gun dot-matrix crt. It was retired because the screen was green. A quick check showed very strong red & green guns, and the blue wasn't bad, but was down a ways from the others. I was able to make adjustments to come up with a reasonable gray scale. I was sitting back for just a second, checking out the picture, when the set up and died. No audio, no raster, no digital display, just a faint ticking sound from the area of the voltage regulator. So, I did a google search which took me to a list of repair briefs and this exact symptom. It said to check T402 for open. Naturally, it's one of the few things not on a module. So, I got rid of all my solid state era Sams. Does anyone happen to know the part number for that transformer, or could someone look it up in Sams 1936-1? Once I have the number I'll go in search of one. I don't want to put much money into this thing, since it most certainly will be something I end up giving away. But I really would hate to junk it for this.
