Perhaps it is time to get a free image hosting account on a site like Flickr or Photobucket.

How are the traces? I've seen open and or crappy traces on that era of board...If they look bad or voltages are not getting places I tend to reflow/add new solder to the traces.

FYI, I have a Photobucket account. It is now rubbish, full of delays, popups, begging for money etc. Many times I just cannot even use it.

Just sayn' (but I guess I get what I am payn' for...)

My flickr account is bit flaky - I log on several different PC's. At work it acts one way, at home another, the laptop still another, and on the phone its very hard to deal with.

Flickr its great for posting numerous pictures of a restore and makes sense when you have lots of photos, instead of one-off posts like this, where it is kludgy to use.

Flickr acts the same on all my devices....VK's upload/image size limits prevent me from uploading %99.8 percent of the pictures I have, and a hosting site has proved easier for me to implement/use than resizing my images and hosting them on VK.

It is a bit less clunky if you run adblock plus in your browser (I still get popups occasionally). My photobucket account is effectively dead to me....Once I (rapidly) ran out of storage capacity and they started prompting me to buy more, I switched to flickr and have not looked back....Well I do occasionally go there to post an old photo still on the bucket.

Call me late to the party, but Dad's (incomplete) Sams for the CTC11 is marked up pretty good. There's this (not in Dad's handwriting) - HOT cherries, check Osc tube filament for 6V. Was half. No corrective action listed.

And plenty about contrast, swapping guns to check CRT, and other non-germane stuff.

PF Reporter also had an instance...

Me, no experience earlier than a CTC12, so no real help beyond that note..

Gotta wonder at this point if either of the windings might have shorted turn(s), dragging down the Q enough to keep the oscillator from starting.
