Yours was first!
I sent a message as soon as I saw this, perhaps I can convince him to sell me the whole set instead of parting it out? Wouldn't that be a shame!

I notice that he says it was sitting in a store window for 45 years and the cabinet is bare, from what I presume was the sun beating on it. Wouldn't this damage the phosphor coating on the CRT too?
I am still a novice in this area, but I just wonder... |

"Will ship insured UPS"
Please God, NO! Better insure it for $5,000, I promise he'll collect on that one. Those freaks destroyed a 21" tube Scotty sent me, you can see the results in my signature.

It's too bad he won't keep this whole set together.
Interesting double reflection in the picture of the CRT face. |

Don't be too sure, he just replied to my message.
Looks like I might own a CT-100!

I hope you get the whole set Nick. I believe that there is someone who had repro vertical convergence transformers for the CT-100 made and is selling them on the ETF classifieds.
You NEED a CT-100 it is all that is keeping you from having every color RCA chassis from prototype to CTC 4. Maybe after that you can get the ones between CTC 4 and 9 and start your own RCA color museum. Tom C. |

At this point, the only one I haven't owned is a CTC-5. I had and sold a nice CTC-9, that was my first roundie. As you know I'm working on veneering the CTC-7, I have no desire to own anything after CTC-10. If I could one day own a Wingate, that would be about the only thing I'd consider collecting. The first 3 is enough for me, though if a Model 5 showed up...

I seem to be having a lot of those, huh? Being in the right place at the right time has a lot to do with it, just yesterday I was camping in Springfield. Bad storm came, blew the tent down!

Camping can be a pretty dangerous activity. We had a similar experience this spring, only we saw this one coming. We literally threw 3 tents in the back of my van and took off running.

You are the luckiest guy in the world! I'd be heading to the store and buying lottery tickets.

You're one of us now. Do you know if this one is already in the database?

As I have mentioned in the past, eight years ago in early 2003 some 25 entries in the Living CT-100 List were lost in a computer HD crash. Since then a handfull have been recovered from various means, but although the Merrill-in-a-window description sounds familiar, I have not been able to match this set to an entry in the list. So Nick, pls pass along the chassis serial number when it becomes available to you. Thanks, Pete Last edited by Pete Deksnis; 09-05-2011 at 10:14 AM. |
