1959 RCA CTC-9 Kenbridge from Minneapolis.

Back in January a Kenbridge popped up an an estate sale in Minneapolis. I asked Gary k to please go look at it and pick it up for me if he could. It had a sold sign on it when he got there. I figured "oh well" and said thank you very much for checking. Later on there was a CTC-11 that he posted about, I got that one (I started a thread on it a while ago) and figured I'd just never get a remote set........but I wished for it back in January, little did I know, a mid century dealer bought it and a pending resale fell through. Anyways, a message popped up on a day that was really bad for me, turns out Gary ended up with it and graciously offered it to me first. Thank you so very much! Turned that bad day right around yo! This is a set I only dreamed of before. The tube has a brightener that I removed for transport, I checked it out and secured it, then it and me were rollin' in my beat up green ford van back to SE WI. Until I get settled again, I won't be able to work on it but at least I have it. The brightener is an isolation brightener, not a booster but I haven't been able to test the tube yet so we'll see. Either way, I have a rare earth grey face 21GUP22 to put in if necessary. I also need to find a remote but at least I have the much harder part to find


Here is where it was stored safely until I could come get it.....Thanks Gary!

It was such a pretty day for a road trip too, the whole thing worked out awesome!
