Yet another CTC-5 in Chicagoland
 
http://chicago.craigslist.org/wcl/ele/1081468758.html

They seem to be coming out of the woodwork this year.

I know!!!! I've been trying to get ahold of them since it was posted! I sent 4 emails. It's driving me nuts! I want that set so bad I can taste it, and printed finishes don't taste good. Unless someone here already got it, I call dibbs! Thanks anyways for letting us know:)

(sigh)....Why do they ALWAYS gotta be on the "Edge of the Universe" away from me ?

Mark,

That is a really clean Aldrich model CTC-5.
And the more rare blonde finish to boot. I hope you can snag it.

Thanks Steve, I too hope I can snag it. I will hold on to hope until the posting is gone. I've been emailing since it was posted on the 18th. Wish me luck, I can only afford the deals these days.

Wow that is a great deal I hope you get it... would be sad to see that go in the garbage Good Luck

Try offering more than he is asking. It may get his attention. That is a scarce and valuable set, and you would literally be stealing it for $20.

For all you know, a couple of other people may already have made better offers, and he's waiting to see what else comes in.

I bet he would answer my email if I offered $300 plus pickup & shipping at my expense :)

Hens' Teeth!

Those are rare enough, let alone blonde! I think that's the first blonde one I've seen. He either is a collector playing a trick on us, or the set's gone, I'm afraid.

I've already done that. 20 is stealing it.

I notice some Vinyl and Stereo gear in the picture too, this isn't some clueless Noob offering this, probably a member here playing a prank.

zenithfan1 03-21-2009 07:06 PM

Man, that would suck.

Snade 03-21-2009 07:17 PM

That posting looks very legit and Cicero is known to be one of the best towns in the Chicago area to find older TVs. People that moved there in the 50's stay in the same house for ever.

Good luck Zenithfan snagging this one.

Cheers, Snade

Thanks. It's weird, with what I said and offered him, I can't understand why I get no reply. Even if it's sold, most would have the courtesy to say it's gone.

zenithfan1 03-21-2009 07:24 PM

Damnit all it needs is "fitler capps" too.....

old_tv_nut 03-21-2009 07:27 PM

WELL, you know, if you do get it, and run out of gas on the way up to Kenosha, I can rescue it ... errr, you. :D
