unrelated to this particular thread, but I was watching a documentary on Les Paul this evening on PBS and there was a B roll shot of a CT-100 displaying a vintage clip of Les and Mary Ford on the Ed Sullivan show. Anyone know who's TV was used for that clip?

I saw the CT100 shot on the Less Paul program too. I would almost bet It belongs to Les Paul. You obvoiusly saw all the antique electronic gear he has. It appears he has not thrown anything away EVER. (my kinda guy) He would have been a prime candidate to own a very early color set.
I couldn't tell for sure, but I might suspect that they used a shot of the CT100, and then overlayed the video on the ct100 screen. What a thrill it would be to meet Less Paul in person. He is one of those rare visionaries who change technology in a very meaningful way. Did you notice that old Lincoln sitting in his driveway with a flat tire? They say he is richer than God, but it looks like he lives the way many of us excentric collectors do. Sort of in and amongst a junk pile.

Hey folks,
Just curious if there are any updates to the 15GP22 rebuild efforts. The last update seems to have been a year ago. Pete? |

John...
Is anyone going to make a pilgrimage to Des Moines to watch the actual process? I would love to see Scotty work his craft in person. I am sure it would be verry educational.

Don't know if there will be a witness or not. Probably won't be me, Florida is a long way from there.
