curtis mathis roundie saved from fishtanker

Man that's awesome! You'll like that set! I have the same one. Mine had a weak green gun when I got it (been about 10 yrs ago), and I had the CRT rebuilt.

The chassis in thre is a mix between the CTC15 and CTC16... pretty easy to work with. The Curtis Mathes number is C20. Your biggest challenge will be all the electrolytics... whether you want to restuff the originals, or tuck replacements everywhere. Of course, like any other RCA or clone of the time, check the flyback current... especially if it has a wax covered winding. If it has a rubber tire in there, it's been replaced already... but still good to check anyway. If I remember correctly, the Fly is a CTC15 replacement.

THis set employs an instant on feature. It would be in your best interest to bypass this.

Since I was running my VCR thru the tape inputs of the stereo amp, it allowed for STEREO sound while watching tv or DVDs.... helluva difference from the mono sound of using the "TV" function on the selector.

Below are a couple of screen shots from my CM after re-capping.
