CTC-5 64th Happy Halloween - 2021

[Electronic M]

The CTC16? (The short answer is an unfrosted safety glass was installed.)

Well it's CRT (a colorama rebuilt) ended up in the Zenith Chancellor mid-last-week.
Since I bought that CTC16 in severely derrilict condition dirt cheap as a CRT donor I decided not to give it any new/valuable parts. The only reason the cabinet isn't junked is that for shits'n'giggles I variaced it with a weak CRT and it worked great (besides the color which needed a crystal and the X demod tube). The Packard Bell CRT (my worst 21FBP that can work on a brightener) I threw in to make it a complete set to sell, didn't have a safety glass so I grabbed the least terrible of 3 ' too-scratched-to-use' safety glasses (this one isn't frosted and came off a mystery rebuilt tube out of a repair shop basement), and thus I shangoed together a POS working CTC16...

I already own a minty CTC16 Stockholm combo so this POS metal table set means nothing to me...I mean if one side wasn't all but rusted off the, bottom and the rest scratched, dented and covered in enough presumably nicotine glaze that it makes chrome knobs look like aged bronze I might have wanted to keep it and make it nice but this just isn't good enough to be worth that.

Somehow it survived 8 straight hours running today so the chassis is somehow doing amazing for being all 1964 parts.
