ctc-5 hv problem

[bgadow]

When I first got my CTC-5 it worked but when I tried it the next day, no picture. The story of how I got it back was long, as I created additional problems along the way. Anyhow, I THINK the initial problem was a short underneath the video board. I had missed it as it was under an IF shield. A terminal strip and attached cap had turned to crispy critters & apparently that killed the raster. At least I think that is what happened. The chances of that being the case here are pretty slim but I did want to relay the experience.
