Philco K5411 - ch 12L80 ctc11 clone

[DavGoodlin]

For this 1962 Philco (first of five RCA-chassis "clones"), I happily traded a 1973 Zenith avanti space command (25DC56). I worked on quite enough Zeniths of this era, I don't need them in my collection. Same with RCA XL-100/Colortrak.

As seen below, this looks nothing like an RCA and uses the newly-introduced 21FJP22, while most RCA CTC11-chassis sets used a 21FBP22. Also unlike RCA, two 5x7 speakers that don't pop the rivet when you disconnect them- carefully. That rivet popping will destroy RCA's 3" cone tweeters

After doing a few CTC-11 restorations, I have been able to avoid a jammed area above the IF strip can by placing new electrolytic capacitors at the actual rail/tie point rather than a 1-3 foot wire up to the three cans next to the IF. Im not sure if this improves anything, but it couldn't hurt shortening wires to minimize any interference pickup. I.E. vertical sweep buzz in sound, tweets-moire, etc.

This first pic is as delivered! Im just about ready to power it up
