CTC 11 advice

[Charlie]

Also, if you're getting NOTHING, does this set have automatic degaussing? If it does, it needs to be plugged in. If the degauss circuit is open, nothing will operate.

I have two 11's. Seems I recall a varistor under the chassis in the main line circuit (this was not for degaussing). The varistor itself had come apart, giving no juice to the set. Seems if I recall, it looked in the schematic that this varistor would simply give the tv a soft start when powering up. Since I didn't have a replacement, I just removed it and jumped the connection. All was fine after that.
