I love finding things like this.

Had an RCA CTC-38 that had intermittent color. I was the 3rd person to look at it for these folks. While it was at my shop, they found a newer set they liked better, so I wound up with this set. There was a hairline crack in the foil right beside the 3.58 crystal. When I shined a high intensity light on the top side of the board, the crack in this foil stood right out. I'm the one that needs reading glasses, and I found this about 5 minutes after starting my troubleshooting.

I ran my set for almost 15 years before the OEM CRT finally gave out.

All the best to you, DaveWM!
