"Hi! My mother is getting ready to sell her house and move to a condo, as a result, I have to get all of the things I have been storing in her basement out of there and into my apartment. Among those things are a 1954 RCA CT-100, and a 1948 Hoffman Amber-Lense TV-Phono combo. Both are complete, though not working. Actually, the Hoffman was working when I recieved it twenty years ago. The vertical then went out, then the picture, but the picture tube is definately still viable, and the phono still works. The RCA is in fantastis shape frome the outside, but does not work and I have no idea what needs to be done to it. The service tags on the back indicate that it belonged to a local broadcasting celebrity(Now Gone) and that it was last serviced in 1969. I was told by another broadcaster that this was one of only four color sets sent to Seattle in 1954. Just what I was told. Anyhow, both sets are complete and I would like to find a good home for them as it is nearly immpossible for me to keep them myself. Any help is certainly welcome!"

I am just passing this on, I have no other info of financial interest in this.

Eric, you don't want the CT-100?:confused:

Steve, I really couldn't afford to pay him what it's worth, plus the fact that it probably has a bad CRT and that would drive me nuts to not be able to get it working.
I'd be perfectly happy for an AK regular to get it.

He didn't mention any prices and neither did I
but I did tell him it's valuable so he wouldn't toss it.

Yeah, I wouldn't know what to do with it either. I hate staring at non--functioning TV's...

Eric & Steve,
Of course we're assuming the picture tube is bad. I wonder if this guy can post some pictures. Or is there a an AK member in Seattle that can take a look at the set? I don't think this guy wants to move that CT-100 more then he has to.

You never know, that CT-100 could have a good CRT...If I recall correctly no one has re-built a CT-100 CRT so all the working examples are tubes that have just continued to work.
