I threw an eeprom in(slightly different ctc177 model) and the set stayed on...out of horiz. hold. I managed to enter the service menu and get to parameter one, H, freq. Just as I had it close the H. oscillator dropped out. I attached an external scan cap (just something out of my cap box, like a .001@2kv) and it fired up with good picture. This told me a timing scan cap somewhere was bad. I located C4402 ,a .0115mfd@1600V (RCA# 223177). It was open. Replaced C4402 as the fix . Philip Bader Jan Phyl TV Inc.
