CT 10



Device Type

Analog Tuner

Start of Sale

1980

General Description

The CT 10 could be described as the TT 350's successor in the 1980's 'slim line' devices. Except for the cassette deck, these devices all had a cabinet about half in height than the one of their predecessors, and all cabinets were entirely made of metal, in contrast to the plastic frames present e.g. in the TT 350. Otherwise, the CT 10 is rather similar to the TT 350: a simple analog tuner without many features, and it contains in fact the same boards as the TT 350. And though the cabinet's size was halved, it is still mostly empty...

Common Failures

The CT10 suffers from the same, simple failure as may other Telefunken devices in that era: a broken mains switch! Symptoms are that the device cannot be turned on or off any more, or a power switch button that doesn't move at all. The problem is the the 'ball pen' mechanics consist of a piece of metal moving in a plastic bearing, and the plastic wears out over time. Replacing the switch is not that a problem, given you can get one that fits precisely - you need a variant that has both pins on the underside (for soldering into the PCB) and soldering contacts on the upper side (for connecting the power cord).
