CTC-15 restoration

[DaveWM]

yea 2kv I would stick with that, large pulse from the transformer.

I generally just used compressed air to get the big dust bunnies out of the way, use care around any coils or wires. If it really bothers you I have found rubbing alcohol and q tips works fine.

to check those chroma jumper wires just give them a slight tug, they will break instantly if bad, when they do break they stay put so it looks like they are fine.

there is prob a tube cap on the bottom, connected across the primary of the vert out, think its a .001 2kv and prob one on the audio out as well. May as well replace those, mainly since I cant test them at rated voltage (spikes).

Of course there is the across the line tube cap that should be replaced as well.

What I generally do is scan the parts list for HV caps, and make up an order from that, making sure I have them covered. I get them from mouser, HV caps are found in the film cap section as "snubber" caps.
