Tommy: Been there, done that. We purchased 10 of those the last time they had that special. And other chassis as well. The problem we found was that like one of yours, some were missing parts, some boards were hairline cracked. Another problem was the letter after the CTC195, it seems that everytime we needed a CTC195 the letter was not the same, so all the options were not the same. I still have not been able to try a complete board to see if it will work. The problem now is that I have robbed most all the flybacks and other parts to fix other sets. So I guess it was well worth the money that way. I just could never use them like I planned when I bought them, as a whole board.
