Yeah thanks, don't think I've ever been this smitten by a piece of wood before!

Hi to all,
Hi @Jeff,

i'd vote for a CTC-5 or later 21" roundy color installed in a CT-100 cabinet.
correct?

The giveaway is that the CT-100's original CRT (15GP22) has a flat screen suspended inside the tube and recessed from the faceplate.

There recently on Facebook marketplace was a CT-100 cabinet with BPC guts fitted. Kinda blasphemy IMO, but if it's the only way you'll ever afford a CT-100 and it makes you happy...

I'd like to narrow that further. I'd vote a later 21" round CRT with the CTC2 chassis in a CT-100 cabinet. Would a glass CRT fit?

Hi to all,
Hi @Penthode,

wouldn't a CTC-2 (original CT-100 chassis) need important modifications to drive a 21" roundie (21AXP22, 21CYP22,...) ?
More H deflection power, more EHT (21 kV instead of 19kV), different Focus voltage and much more sophisticated Convergence controls.

@Jeff: what chassis composes the "innards"?
CRT type?

worst case: it's a AI photo creation. The strange "Halolight" illuminated bezel in the color bars photo looks mighty strange.
Proof-of-the-pudding would be genuine chassis photos at rear of cabinet + CRT label.

You could do what I did while my CT-100 lacked a working 15GP22.

I bought a pro (but not broadcast) grade Sony monitor of appropriate size and
devised a small convertor circuit board which used six transistors to
convert the CRT grid signals to 75 ohms, and hooked that to the monitor.
It ran off a wall-wart secreted inside the TV.

I didn't put the monitor in the cabinet, but it would fit, barely. It had a gorgeous picture. The convertor had lower capacitance than the 15GP22. It demonstrated just how good I-Q is with a bright picture.

Someone save this test jigs from old tv shops. I wish could of saved some from tv shops years ago.
