Perhaps the ones that are still shiny didn't have the guns completely bombarded? They turn each element cherry red, to shake the air molecules off of it.

There maybe something to that G1 color thing. I have noticed it but never paid close attention to .
I wonder if its where the filament evaporation deposits. Much like how a non gas filled light bulb gets that silvery gray coating on the inside from the boiled off tungsten.

No, that stuff typically ends up in the neck near the base. The 21AXP22 in my Sylvania set has that going on, same way as an old light bulb. I guess it actually is an old bulb of light, depending on how you choose to look at it.

You can also gently pry between the two with a couple of small blade screwdrivers opposite of each other or if you have to hold on to the (loose) base then work your way around and just pry a little at a time.

Very dignified cabinet - could fit in the library of a mansion or I could picture the President watching it at the White House. :thmbsp:

has the cool color hologram badge as well.

Me Likey ! There's just "Something" about a Roundie, especially a hi-end one like this...They're SO "Elegant" & "Sophisticated"...A set like this would about always be in the "Company" room, where the kids, dogs, food, etc. was NOT allowed to go... Mom would be in her Sunday best, Dad would have his jacket on....Always CLEAN & NEAT in that room...If you lived back in that era, like I did, you know what I'm talkin' about.

consoleguy67 06-29-2012 10:26 AM

Beautiful cabinet! What year is that set from?

DaveWM 06-29-2012 10:37 AM

yep that room was strickly off limits to kids, adults only.

DavGoodlin 06-29-2012 11:05 AM

Really sweet! Never did see a CTC10 that high-end! Is there a safety window that was removed?

Phil Nelson 06-29-2012 11:13 AM

If it is like my CTC-11s, they came with the safety glass or without.
