Barry, Had a CTC169 that would play fine and then all of a sudden shutdown, and then come back on by itself, but I don't think there was any horiz. instability or arcing sound. The fix was CR4111(#202055), diode comes in a kit. Just thought I'd mention this.

Standbys seem OK, 12v run drops out at shutdown. Has anyonegot a resolution? > Thanks, > Barry > TV Service Clinic > W.
