Ctc-30

[Chad Hauris]

Here's one I don't think anyone has discussed here, the RCA ctc-30. My business partner John got this at an estate sale today, he said there are more old sets so we will return tomorrow.
It has an automatic tuning system with a push button and channel number that light up on the side but strangely doesn't have a remote. Inside the control panel are the usual controls plus a panel lamp dimmer and a sharpness control. there is an extra green indicator light below the screen.
The crt is a new Sylvania 23v type installed in 1980.
The chassis is very similar to ctc-16 but it has a transistorized sound system.

At first we couldn't get HV so we reseated the 3a3 and 2av2 and got a raster but we are having real trouble bringing in a good signal, the picture is very snowy. replaced the mix-osc tube, no difference, so it will need some more troubleshooting.
