Hello and thank you for reading this message.
Would anyone have experience in replacing the picture tube ( 15GP22 kinescope) in a 1954 RCA CT-100 color television? I have one and was fortunate enough to acquire a nre picture tube for it. the old one needs replacement.
It appears to be a massive job so any advice will be appreciated.I do have both the SAMS Fotofact and the RCA service manual for it.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can give me any advice.

Joe:

There is a website dedicated to the restoration of the CT-100 that you will probably find interesting and probably helpful. http://home.att.net/~pldexnis/

Good luck.

Hi,
I would also highly recommend one of the old "correspondence course books if you can find one. "Profitable Television Troubleshooting", is perhaps one of the better written ones to search for. It deals in general terms, but also is rather specific in what to watch out for.

The above book is especially good if you never set an "Ion Trap". If it is not done right, you can burn the phosphor.

Look at home.att.net/~pldexnis/the_15GP22.html
and at other pages on the same site: He has not
only replaced 15GP22's, he is into rebuilding them.
