Beautiful Priscilla Presley is on Larry King

The famous '56 RCA Special is displayed prominantly in the background. Do you fellas think that CRT is the original color phospher? Anybody here worked on that set?
They are in the main 3 TV room now!

The famous 3 TV room

looked as though two sets '68 models and the last one is a couple years newer. I think the last time I saw it all three were the same.

TV's at Graceland

I went through Graceland some years ago. The CTC5 was not in the living room and was in storage. In the "TV room" I think the TVs mounted on the wall were CTC38's in the vinyl clad metal table models. Since Elvis recorded with RCA, the sets were always freebies. There was a set in the dining room and if I remember correctly, it was a 25" XL100.

I have often thought of who might have worked on them in the past and wouldn't it be exciting to have a tube or other part of a set that Elvis actually watched!

I agree with her plastic surgery. She looks awful and I used to really like her looks. Still remember her in Naked Gun looking great....
