Found a CTC-28!
Finally found a tube console after not seeing anything but BPC for the past few years, AND it works! It's an RCA console with a chassis I am not familiar with. It's a CTC-28C. Chassis design is alot like a CTC-16. Tube is a 25XP22 with a code date of 1968. Does anyone else have a CTC-28? I wasn't even aware of it. Am going to test all tubes and place it in my "office" as a daily watcher. Also found a CTC-7 at the same sale, but haven't powered it up yet.

I'd have to go look... Doesn't ring a bell, and I've worked on possibly thousands of 60s RCA sets. Curiosity is perked!

Hey Doug,
My CTC-28 has a great pix, but the horizontal is touchy. I was running it in the garage tho on a VCR/DVD combo unit. I'll have to try a DTV box and see if it's any better. All the IF tubes were shorted and the 6KZ8 was bad, so those are on order. Looked at my other set. It's a CTC-4A and is the "Director 21" I haven't even attempted to power it up. Something in fron of the yoke is pretty burnt on that one, unless it is the yoke. It had an RCA sales tag in it, and it matched the address and name of the house I was at. |

jr, check this old thread:
http://www.videokarma.org/showthread...ataract+repair Lots of great info buried in there. I seem to recall a -28 being discussed in the last year; I think it may have been a lower-cost chassis that RCA offered.
