A quick CTC 16 question

Put the service switch into the service position and advance the G2 controls to get a dim line on all three colors (just extinguished is better).

If you can't get a service line with your three G2s up or you can but aren't getting a raster, you need to troubleshoot this and not just guess that the tube is weak. For all we know, the last guy put the booster on it for the same reason you think it needs one - it may not.

Honestly I don't know if it needs a booster. But I turned the service switch and got 2 lines I forget what color but I didn't see red. I want to say it was blue and white but I'm not 100%

I am getting snow on the screen and it changes with turning the dial.


I would like to make a test adapter if someone could help me out with that. This way I can tell if the guns are infact weak.
