RCA Victor portable TV from the 1950s

Yes, but choose one based on amperage. See what your TV draws for nominal running current as the resistance of the thermister will be based on what percentage of its rated current is being used.

If the TV normally draws an amp, pick a 2A thermister. Running at half the current, the resistance will be an ohm or two.

If you pick one too high in current rating, the thermister will have a higher run resistance which may or may not be an issue.

Also, if it's not mounted in the board, make sure to get one with leads!

I did a '56 RCA KCS 94 a month or so ago in this thread

I used this to replace my crispy inrush limiter thermistor:

Works great!

Well I got it going except for the yoke positioning, I forgot to mark the yoke position when I removed the picture tube from the chassis so I could get to the vertical section to replace some old paper caps on the board that were causing the vertical to be unstable.

So now I have to blindly guess which way the yoke needs to go on so that I can get the picture to be right side up instread of being sideways.
