That is my CT-100. Listing corrected to restored chassis...by two of us...and the bulb is bad. It needs a better home. Auction item. And I will include a RCA matchbook from the dealer I got it from. The set was never sold and was a demo in his shop for 50 years in SE PA in a tiny town when I got it. Just as dead then as now. The shop had seen a flood or two and I had to refinish a front piece on the bottom.
I will edit/add to this post with others I am bringing to auction as they fit in the van. An unsold RCA BW 21" blonde metal table top for starters. A Zenith 25" color. A few 40's/50's 10" and some 70's/80's BW little SS portables to come.

Looking for Radios
Hey folks I am looking to pick up a couple of suitcase / lunchbox radios too. Older models that open for maintenance from the back. Rounded edges.
Preferably working or at least easily restorable. Ones that look like these in shape and age. I will be at ETF if anyone has some they need to let go.

Getting close!
 I'll be getting in on Thursday afternoon (coming from Buffalo), along with BigAudioAl, rodmonster, (coming in from DC/VA) and philtar0079 (coming in from Western NY near the PA border). We plan on just hanging out at the hotel and in town till Friday. We're staying at the Courtyard Marriott in Dublin. Is anyone else getting in early and want to hang out, visit, maybe have a couple drinks or coffee? Also, things have changed up with the Ed Reitan auction: TV sets, cameras and other items from Ed Reitan's collection will be auctioned beginning at the 2015 Convention. Each item will have a reserve price (announced at the Convention). They will be in our silent auction, with bids accepted from 8:30 AM until about 6 PM on Saturday, May 2. If the reserve is met, the item will be sold. If the item does not sell in the Convention silent auction, it will be put in an online auction on this site. The auction will last for about 30 days. Exact closing dates and times will be announced when the online auction begins.

I am interested in 1940s/1950s 7 inch and 10 inch sets. Preferable with good CRTs, but will consider nice condition sets with bad CRTs too. Bring em if you got em!
 If I bring home any more consoles I will not be married much longer.

If anyone has an original SAMS set 496, folder 2, I would be interested in it at ETF. That will give you a clue as to which console I just got.

In my case, I currently have 11 consoles and only 4 tabletops, and one of those tabletops is sitting on its own TV table.
I seem to be having the opposite issue

All of mine are monsters. And I have two cats that would love to think that they were some kind of jungle gym

Put the littler monsters on the bigger ones, and get one of those handheld motorized pet nail files to round off/smooth their claws so they can't climb.
Our Ginger kitty used to climb the curtains in the house I grew up in, and hide in the top on the wall mount, but as she got bigger than kitten size that started to bend and damage the whole shebang, and eventually to keep it from becoming dangerous the claws were continually kept dulled.
