1968 RCA New Vista Color CTC-22

[JB5pro]

I still have the ctc 53 that I suspect melted the hv cup based on the smell and smoke in the house when i awoke. The set was working very well with no arcing sound until I fell asleep. The thing that gets me is that part was little more than 50 years old. Could they design it better for those of us that need our money's worth? I bet I won't be joking if the flyback is melted which is more likely because my large apt was filled with smoke and awful stink. Stupid me didn't want the service plan for $15.00!
