A bit off topic in a way ..but re DVD ....the fight over HD or Blu Ray in the hidef dvd format wars leaves me cheering for HD DVD ...no anti consumer region coding to deal with ...as for the rest of the DRM stuff ....well my comments are unprintable!!

I found the "secret" menu on my Digix Media DVD player, and it does have a "defeat" settibg as well as region-code settings. I am going to try it with a test DVD on my CTC-5, then buy a DVD of early color Bonanza episodes to play on it.

The modifications for various 70s TVs were listed in the Serviceman column of Electronics Australia magazine, I have those issues around somewhere. Perhaps a similar magazine covered the modifications for some vintage NTSC sets?
Several manufacturers included TBCs in their high end consumer VCRs. I have JVC and Loewe (built by Hitachi?) S-VHS VCRs with TBCs. I've seen at least one Panasonic consumer S-VHS VCR with a TBC. With so many people abandoning VHS some very nice VCRs (including pro editting decks) are being sold very cheaply.

Thanks guys for a very informative explanation. Luckily alot of the old shows are now beginning to be released on DVD so this kit will come in very handy. The thing i like about it also is that its an external fix so no modification needs to be done to the sets themselves and they can be left in their original state.

Hey guys I dont know why this is working so well, but I have a cheap-o RCA VHS VCR. Newer one and it's taking the retrace out of every DVD I play on my ctc-16. I use an RCA DVD player. Go figure. The Pic looks great too, no flashing and no retrace lines or instability issues at all!

At the formal opening of our museum in Windsor CT last Saturday we had a CTC-11, a CTC-9 (anniversary model), and a completely restored and operating CT-100. The 9 did not get along at all with the DVD encoded with Macrovision, but the 11 was more tolerant. The CT-100, however, showed a splendid display with no "jitters" or fading. The lines in the upper left corner were present, but did not make a difference in picture stability, or brightness, etc.
The CT-100 is cabinet # 827. Kevin G.
