CTC-7 in Sacramento, CA - $225

[madRad45]

Looks like it's in nice condition. Seller says "it works", but who knows what that really means.

Oh wow. Arrrgh, its just too "Grandma" for me... Modern or tabletop and I'd be on it!

Hey, don't diss my Pensbury!

I have a CTC-7 in that cabinet (a nice player) and never thought of it as a Grandma style set, but I get your point. Even worse to me is the light colored Colonial (or is it Early American) furniture style; I grew up in a house full of that rubbish and it always yells "cheap" to me.

FWIW, that price seems fair if the CRT is good.

I have a maple veneer Pensbury in the garage awaiting warmer weather. It must be disassembled to get it into the basement. Good 21CY. Many CTC-7 parts "in stock", too.

I too find the Pennsbury to be a bit "grandma"-ish, but I still wouldn't kick a CTC-7 outta bed...

A CTC-7 as a bed partner? Who am I to judge?
