Well, I found my needed CTC169 AC power input I needed today and this
allowed me my $158.50 repair bill.
I am thinking about just keeping a selection of "fast moving" chassis
like certain RCAs, the Zenith boards,etc. Toss all the weirdos. My back
room has been a gold mine, but then I exist off after-warranty older set
repairs.
I also keep a lot of PTV chassis and tubes on shelves. But as it is
now,I can visually locate a chassis and go right to the small coil,etc .
