What did you with the EHT? The 21AXP22 needs 19.5 KV, the 21FJP22 needs 25 KV.

Honestly, I have no idea. I didn't install this tube - it was done by the previous owner. I was told that he changed it out in 1970 and that it worked fine for years. So, I don't know if he changed the circuit any or what else he did. I have yet to see this set run. It needs lots of caps.

LOL I wish I had a dollar for every lecture I've had to listen to! I'd be rich! BTW that still is a nice set, I see the potential. Please keep us updated, it will be very interesting to watch this project!

Does anyone want this CTC4 set or need anything off of it? I have not done a thing to it since I got it and I think it's going to take someone with better restoration skills than I to bring it back to life. I'll just hold out for a roundie in better condition. So, if anyone wants this, let me know. It didn't cost my anything and I don't want anything for it. I just hope someone winds up with it that can use it for something.
