I'm glad to see there's some interest. That's why I mentioned the listing in the first place. It's a set worth preserving. I'd rather see another collector get it than have it end up as a fishtank in some Denver hair salon.

Bidding weak (economy + remote Denver location)

Something like that, I guess.

First, I get my CTC-5D for under $200. I have seen MUCH worse examples of 5's sell, in the last 5 years or so, for MORE than 1K!! In particular--a table--model "special" sold on the bay about 4 years or so ago--not in great physical shape and with a DEAD tube--and it sold for over $1000!! Mine is a console, and it went for MUCH less--with an unknown tube.

Then tonight..a VERY nice, deluxe,5.. in a NICE cabinet with a GOOD tube-- sells for $712. It was worth DOUBLE that!!

Either the economy...or interest in pre-1960 color sets has died out.

At the very least...it allowed me to finally join the "5 club"!! I now have a pre-1960's color set myself...after waiting since 1979.
