Color? Roundie in PA
Ok so forgive my complete lack of knowledge in color sets but this looks like it might make some one really happy for $25.

CTC-5 Arliss with the CTC-5N, "Deluxe", chassis. Should be one hell of a performer!

wow nice, pay pal them the 25$ now. that way they know you are going to show up. let them know that you will be there to move it as well. the one I got had a busted neck pretty sure after the guy got it out for me to load up.

keeping my fingers crossed for you!! they are nice sets and easy to work on.

I may not have known what it was but I was pretty sure it was an early color set and that some one would be excited about it. I'm glad you got it Tim .

Wow - you gotta post M O R E pictures when you get it home.....

Don't think I've seen a cabinet like that.... Very nice....

You gotta post picts of the speakers too.... Looks like it may have more than one.....

Nominating for "deal of the decade !"

Well, since I REALLY wanted the guy to hang on to the set and give it some legitimacy, I paid him $100 for it.

Still a bargain

I'll bet he was tickled pink that you paid 4 times his asking price. Either that or he's wondering if it's worth thousands.

As soon as I saw Binghamton I figured this had you written all over it, Tim. Very nice cabinetry. Hopefully the fact that they plugged it in didn't burn out anything hard to replace.

If I didn't already have a ctc5, I would probably have done the exact same thing,
you still got a good deal..... A few extra dollars is always a good motivator.....
