Shaun: A CTC1187 with a stand up tuner. Never seen that before. Been doing them since first came out, never seen a standup tuner on a CTC until the CTC203. First time for everything, I guess. Oh well, this is what I have for vertical problems on a CTC187. I do not know what letters are on the end of the CTC187, so not sure on your exact chassis: Replace Vert Chip (Tda8172) Ecg (1788) & Leaky Diode (Cr4501) Location On Part 070*780 Solder Bad At Microprocessor Ground Shield Cr4501 Intermittent Junction Int Conn At Vert Yoke Plug (At Yoke) Hard Wire Replace Cr4704 Derived Off Flyback For +12 Run Supply, Part Number 207878 Perry Bower Electric Medic "It's Cheaper to Keep Her" 3850 Washington Road Suite 5b Martinez, Georgia 30907 Phone: 706-8MEDIC4 (863-3424) Phone: 706-863-3474 Fax: 706-863-2316 Website: www.electricmedic.com mailto:info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "WE REPAIR WITH CARE" More Info: www.augusta-ga.bbb.org/report.html?compid=6001278&national=y Factory Trained Authorized Service Center For: Fisher, GE, KEC/KTV, Konka, Mitsubishi, Panasonic, Philips Magnavox, Pioneer, ProSCAN, RCA, Samsung, Sanyo, Sharp, SONY, Technics, Zenith Provide Extended care for: AON, Circuit City, GE Contracts, Glass Agency, Philips Contracts, NEW, Rex -----Original Message----- From: techassist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:techassist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Shaun Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2002 11:17 AM To: techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [TechAssist] Re: RCA CTC187 This is a 1999 set with the tuner seperate from the main board.
