Here are a few screen shots of my CTC 10 Monticello. Not bad for 52 years old

Hi Tom, That set is looking most excellent, and I think it couldn't have found a more loving home Happy Thanksgiving.

[Tom S]

Thanks Kevin and same back at you. The CTC 11 is doing well too except for the cat problem that I didn't have time to do last summer. You got to get rolling on your projects too. I play the 10 daily every morning for the news.

Having fun on a day off with my old Sets. RCA was the King in it's day for Color Tv. My folks never had one, Just tried one but ended up with a Curtis Mathis for the first color set in 1963, Then a GE in 69, then my 1967 RCA Combo till 79. That had a ;CTC 25 with solid State audio section. I'm going to try to find a few pics of it and post.

Don't have a roundie, but I'm playing the parade and shows on my Samsung, along with a big 40" Samsung playing football.

Here's a couple shots of my CTC-7 watching the parade and one of color bars. It's still a work in progress (I haven't aligned the color demod yet) but it makes a nice picture even on a sunny day.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Great pic on that set. Shouldn't need much in alignment at all. I think the parades were made for these sets. Well? what you expect since a parade was the first real color broadcast anyway.

Agreed. You're CTC10 looks great (and so does your 11). There's just something about the phosphors in these old CRTs! Although Brandon, you sure have got that Samsung to shine.

There's just SOMETHING very special about a well-tuned/tweaked Roundie that the rectangular sets DON'T have...And these dreadful flat-screen things nowadays ? Fuggeddaboutit...

Hey very nice lookong sets I had to sell my ctc5, and my ctc9 sometimes when you need cash you have vto sell something of value now I am stuck with a ctc16 with a broken crt hopefully it is rebuildable... Timothy

[Tom S]

Yup I have to agree that the phosphors were more natural for sure. Time was spent to make sure of that. I've been in electronics most of my life. My Mom says I was behind the Tv at 3, Something got me there. I couldn't wait for the tv to quit so the repair guy would come over. I was in the business for over 36 yrs. Now I just do a few here and there. Started in a tv shop at 13. And to think of all those roundies I got rid of over the years. Now I'm kicking myself.

oh wow.. what a wonderful thing it must have been in 1950s /60 to suddenly have color TV.

Great pictures guys...
I have been watching college ball here on my mid 1970s Sony. (Close as I get to a roundie here!)

Hey everyone that posts pics gets a chance to see the Wizard a few times a year. I can still remember when everyone came over to our house to see it in COLOR on our 21" Curtis Mathis in 1964. The set was bought in 63. Here's a few more pics to enjoy. Thanks guys for the compliments.

Here are some good color Jonny Quest shots too. Now this was work getting up early on a Saturday morning to watch.
