Well I recieved all the replacement parts Friday for the ctc-16, got finished with it today, inspected my work, and re installed the chassis, powered up the set and voilla! What a picture!!! I went ahead and swapped out all three 27k 2W R-y B-y g-y grid resistors and x and z demod plate resistors, all were out of tolerance or open. Swapped out all wax caps, and replaced a few orange drops. This set looks better than my Chromacolor II!!! Oh yeah, the 21FJP22 reads great and within 15% between red green and blue! Found a few out of tolerance resistors for the 2nd video IF as well which explaind the video smearing. Vertical was wonky due to a faulty 150k resistor between the vert height and lin pots and the cardboard axial lytic cap on the vertical sweep board. Not enough blue screen caused by a faulty 100k 1W resistor for the blue screen pot. found the same for red screen as well... The raster on this set is exceptionally bright and very well focused, I spent a few hours tweakin the screens and bias to get a great greyscale, then used my B&K on crosshatch and finnesed the convergence to near perfect. I really appreciate all you guys help as I battled this monster! It's deffenatly rewarding! Shoot, it's got such an awesome picture that im using it at the moment to play my XBOX!
