CTC-15 working again!

[Charlie]

My 15 crapped out back around Christmas... had a nasty hum bar in the picture and everything was out of whack. I took it apart back then, but since most of my time involves working on my cabin in the woods, I never really tore into it good until last night.

When I originally put this set together over a year ago, the only real repair to the chassis was a new flyback. It still had all of the original lytics in it. It played very well with them, but I figured watching it daily would soon wear them out.

Yesterday, I replaced all but two lytics (only because I didn't have two 80's on hand) and now everything is back in shape. I found that a few of the lytics were weak... showing about half of their value on the meter. The main culprit was one of the 160's... it opened completely. I checked the remaining 80's and they still gave full readings on the meter, so hopefully they will hold up till I get some more.

For now, it's working great again and now I can try completing one of my other many un-finished projects around here (and trust me, there's plenty).
