RCA CTC...Something? poor HV output.

[Arcanine]

I'm starting to think my HV probe is lying to me.



I swapped a couple tubes tonight with the CTC20 just to see, and I swapped in my NOS 1V2 focus rectifier and this is what I saw when I went around to the front of the set. A little tweak to the focus adjustment, the picture is razor sharp, my camera won't even catch how sharp it actually is.

This is the first time it's ever given me a color image.

It's also very bright and clear. I let let it run for 10 minutes on the dot and shut it off, and checked the fly, and it wasn't even warm.

I'm starting to think it's not the fly and more dead caps. It refuses to fill the screen vertically, and when no color is present, the image still looks yellowish. As soon as color pops, it looks good. It has full horizontal and locks on with out much fuss.
