My first RCA ctc7A

[Bill Cahill]

Hi, guys. I have had this set for several years, but, have had numerous problems with it. Our friend, John Folsom helped me with it as part of a swap deal. I did the re-building, bit, he did alot of other hard to do work.

Well, I am finally going to be shipped back the chassis, and, deflection yoke, convergence board, etc..

Here's the deal. The set now plays, all color adjustments, and alignment have been done. When I get it, I have the rest to do, including purity, convergence, etc...

Now, my questions. Would anybody have a better condition empty case they might wish to dump? Mine is the ugly blond consolette on legs, The top looks horendous, and since it isn't real wood, cannot be re finnished.

Next: Would anybody have the on off knob for this set? It is missing.

Next: Does anybody have an original back cover? I have mine, but, the dreaded power transformer leaked a ton of tar, including on the back cover in the beginning.

I'm glad it's coming back, and I will soon be puting it back together, and getting a picture on it. It's been manny years since this set has seen use.

I originally bought it from a local tv repair shop. It was in their attic.
The replacement pix. tube checks good on all three guns. I have to do speaker repairs. This set wasn't treated well. I had to re support brackets for weak screw on legs. This set is a beasty.

Hope somebody can help. Thanks.
