That had a ;CTC 25 with solid State audio section. I'm going to try to find a few pics of it and post.

When they bought the C-M, they ended up with an RCA anyway.
That was slightly before RCA licensed the building of clones, to the other manufacturers. That was the CTC15 design.

I also found the promos for a Curtis Mathis too. They called the chassis a CMC21. We kept the set for 6 years then traded it on a GE with a KE chassis. Not a bad set. Did my training on that Tv, my first convergence job. When my folks weren't home.

GE KE, not a bad set. Not a good one either!
Just kidding. There were worse sets. Wasn't the KE, the last of that design. Trying to remember how many years GE built that series.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Don't see why you would want to touch the color alignment at all - color bars and pictures look good to me.

Here are some of the CM Promos I have. My son pasted some pics on them that look good so it's not real screen shots.

Oh I know, the GE KD wasn't great, or lets go Solid State. JA,QA, MA,MB EC, PC, AA and so on, I worked on all those sets from 74 to 87. Our shop handled GE and Sylvania and we quit Sylvania about 80, Why I do not know cause it was a great set till NAP took it over. The only NAP set that was good was the C9. I had one and the only weakness I found was the Horiz Driver transformer would break loose. Otherwise it played great.

Hi old_tv_nut,

It looks good to me, too. The only reason I thought it might need a tweak is that I have to have the tint control at about 3 o'clock instead of centered. But I'm inclined to leave well enough alone.

These pics remind me of watching Saturday morning cartoons on my parents 1965 Zenith roundie in the early 70's. Now that it is past Thanksgiving I also remember watching all the Christmas specials on the Zenith. Merry Christmas Charlie Brown, Frosty, Rhudolph, Santa Claus is coming to Town etc. Great memories of a much simpler time!!

Here are a few screen shots of the grinch. The color just stands out so well on these old tv shows. Can't wait for Charlie Brown Christmas

All of the sets look great! The Technicolor of OZ really looks great on these old sets! I would love to have a round, but alas nothing has yet crossed my path(that I can afford).

Thank you Tommy for the pics

Here are a couple of inside shots of my 10. Pretty good shape I think and an original CRT. If you look at the model tag and CRT you will see the matching Serial Number. You can't beat the old stuff with a stick. LOL.
