I believe it had something to do with the 12V line...just another work-around for RCA. Also...I think the "RCA" guys that worked on CTC130's are now in retirement.;-) -Ed- Tel-Tek Electronics Ontario-Canada teltek3@xxxxxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: techassist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:techassist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Gary McCartney Sent: Saturday, October 15, 2005 5:11 PM To: techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [TechAssist] Re: [TechAssit] RCA - 27" TV - PMR623ER - CTC130A - Dead - Shorted HOT I have RCA yellow sheet special instructions for CTC130. On it it says if you have MTT001A/2B that you are to cut C675, 100uF@16V out of the circuit. If you use the module for other chassis besides CTC130, have it connected back in. I can scan and send this yellow sheet later. It also has to do with repeated failure of the HOT. Gary David, what does CR426 connect to? I can't find it on the schematic for MTT001A. If it is a glass diode that looks like a zener but isn't a zener, I'd guess it is a 1N4148.

TV pulses ON/OFF when ON" button is pressed, TV comes on for a brief second as power cord is unplugged. I've replaced C672, C654 and C656. When I disconnect RED wire on standup board next to VIPUR TV pulses ON/OFF. What am I missing? What are the start conditions for this chassis to fire-up? I know nothing about this 25 year old chassis. Thanks in advance.

Dead,5A fuse blown. Fix: Shorted cap C425 (043uf@200V) yoke return I think. After you get it on, here's some issues you may face: Brightness a bit exessive,retrace: C122 (30uf@250V) front of flyback. Raster narrow at sides, slight bow: Q1 on pincushion upright board near rear of chassis. RCA#146847/2N2222A,checks OK-replace it. Channels 2-6OK, no 7-13. Open and resolder all stakes inside the MTT001 module. Bands of interference (two) slowely moving up thru picture.: Inside the MTT001A, change C654(100uf/16v),C672(220uf/25V),C656(330uf/10V). Immediate shut down at turn on:Flyback bad. Vert. retrace at top inch of screen.All assoc. caps seem to ESR OK. R506(6800ohm/2W) runs hot normally.Remove,scrape leads and resolder. Left side jailbars: Workaround: Add a 10uf/250V cap across CRT's PC board's stakes, pos. to "C6", neg to "Z1".(saves pulling chassis) Excess brightness: C122 (47uf@250) Unusual brightness issue: Increase brightness with control,all sudden at max: R721 (680ohm) increased to 690ohm. Also: Q703 shorts (#143806/NTE159).HTH. Phil Philip Bader Jan Phyl TV Inc. (estab. 1976) 3420 Recker Hwy.
