CTC-9A Getting Going Finally

[kvflyer]

You may remember that I got an RCA CTC-9A last winter from a tip here. It was about 45 minutes from my house and boy, was it cold! It is in rather good cosmetic condition. I will start with a CRT replacement. The one in it, an RCA replacement, is about as dead as you can get. The only thing that it can supply is warmth from the heaters.

I got a CRT a few years ago, didn't even know what number it was until the guys at ARF identified it. The replacement CRT has a scratch on the face but it checks NOS. Most likely, that is the reason it was saved. I actually got it with about a dozen and a half other CRTs from a local closed repair shop. I was the only bidder on "That Auction Site".

Some time ago, I bought the odd-ball tubes that were bad and now have them all. I got new capacitors to stuff the electrolytics and that will be done prior to the first power. And that odd fuse setup that requires fuses with a bayonet end will be replaced with a new fuse holder that accepts standard fuses.

More to come with pictures...
