21CT55 Screen-Shot Test

[Tomcomm]

I bought this TV in 1964 for $50 not working. Once I got it operational I decided to keep it in the garage TV shop area. I modified the consul cabinet into a table model by rotating the chassis from horizontal to vertical to take up less room in the cramped garage, also make chassis modification and repair much easier. Yes, in 2007 it became direct composite video input only. Reactivating the RF/IF portions seemed unnecessary since I had good DVD players and the 21CT55 was never intended as a restoration item.

Got back to the 21CT55 after 16 weeks “sanitizing” my “bought new” 1980 BMW 320i sports coupe. The CRT set came right up with nominal voltages, same as last operating. At 115vac in, B+ is 420v, Boost is 750v, FBI is 190ma, Ultor is 28kv and Focus is 5.1kv.

Took a few screen shots with my Olympus SP550UZ on full auto from 64in distance at 120 iso, 1/6 sec, 3.9 F.

Is that line pairing on the test pattern, or just a fast shutter catching one field?
