CTC21 Flyback Problem

But for all the Sonys I have around I must say they were pretty hard to beat in picture and repair quality. Yes I am biased toward Sony. 📺

Zenith didn't implement tripplers on their their tube sets AFAIK (unless the 4 tube hybrids had it, never owned a 4 tuber despite having most of their other chassis). So you were comparing apples to oranges.....RCA had tripplers in their SS sets just like Zenith and they sucked just as bad as any other trippler in any other set.
