Ok cool thanks guys. Well I got some good news today! My buddy Dan moved into his grandfathers house up here when he passed away a few years back. His grandpa was into vintage electronics. Long and behold sitting in the garage in a ctc-16. Looks like mine except the cabinet is not a Enertainment console. Hasn't been powered up since the early 80's he said. Think ill grab it and make it my next project, unless it's soo badly gone, considiring the cabinet is coming apart. The wood sides are peeling away from the cabinet. If I cant restore it, mabye I could use it or parts. hmmm...

Oh yeah, well I was incorrect on my last statement. The blue screen is actually present when i turn it up, but weaker than the red, so that makes me think the Chassis is not the problem here. Full turn on blue screen adjustment = 1/4 of what green in and 1/2 of red. Although blue is not merky like red. Im not too sure how bright these sets are supposed to look like with a good crt, does andyone have a pic of a good ctc-16 in operation?
