Checked with Tritronics , who has none...checked other RCA Dist's too. None.
I have been working on this Flyback for about a year, trying to get
something going because its NLA. Supplies are exhausted, as you say. The
Engineer with the Last good Pull I provided says the ABL/GND connection is
open. this is a Solder Terminal on top of the FBT near the tubes for anode
and Screen wires. So I really need one that has this, the Secondary in Tact,
so readings can be taken for engineering of a prototype. Everything else is
ok.
The fact that you say, its a good Set that people Like Repaired, is the
reason I am trying to keep the flyback available. Its a CTC170RA, not Just
a 170. I think the Last 2 Letters mean a different Flyback.
| I can honestly say I have NEVER seen a CTC170 flyback fail, ever.
|
| I have seen the external focus divider block fail lots of times, and it
| looks just like a flyback failure.
| Just make 100% sure it is the flyback with an external drive tester.
|
| It is also highly unlikely you will find a good used pull from that
chassis.
| The set was so expensive that most people still pay good dollars to have
| them repaired. Then there was the really small production run Thomson had
| on the set which will even limit the possibility of used supply further.
|
| Call all the Thomsons parts distributors before giving up on a new one.
