New Here! CTC-10C question

[holmesuser01]

Hello. I'm Bruce. I've been here about 30 minutes!

I have an RCA CTC-10C chassis in its original cabinet. I got this set in 1974 It was in a bunch of junk sets, and it just stuck out. It is in the danish style wood cabinet with a 6x9 speaker on the left side, with a 3" tweeter under it, and another tweeter on the controls side. No UHF or remote here.

I cant find a sticker on the set with the model number. There used to be one on the chassis, but over time it got removed. The original back was gone when I got the set. I found a back in 1982!

As received, it had a broken 21CYP22 in it. I had a 21FBP22 tube sitting here and decided to install it and see what would happen. It worked decently from the start. The flyback fried in 1980, and I happened to have one out of a CTC-11 chassis. It looked the same, so I installed it in my 10. It works! In 1982, I bought an "all new" kine from a large builder in Georgia. This tube is still in here. Original safety glass. Color is off, somewhat, but looks good for its age. B/W image is pretty good. Warms up fast.

Does anybody have a set of knobs for a CTC-10? The ones that I have on this set were removed from one of the other junker sets that were in this group. (Wish I had ALL of them now!) This set has the pretty tan weave grilles on both sides of the screen. Any set will be considered.

My flyback is over 40 years old. I worry about it. I want to find one to have when the day comes. Anybody have a lead to where I might find one?

Sorry to be arriving and asking alot of questions right off the bat like this, but I've been looking for parts for this CTC for a long time. Since I got it in 1974, it has only died once, and that was when the FBT died. Other things were vertical problems, and some audio issues.

All I have ever had to service this set by is a Sams Photofact.

I plan to start on a restoration shortly. I am gathering a list of electrolytics to start with. I'm in no hurry, either. The set currently runs an hour or two a day. I have a Sony Playstation running on it, and it looks fairly decent. Brightness is turned down due to some HV blooming, but the video looks pretty good for an oldie!

All of the tubes are replacements. Most of them were missing when I got the set. I have worked on TV's since the early 1960's, so I have lots of tubes on hand.

Thanks in advance for any info you can give me. My family cant believe that I am going to restore this monster.
