I wish I was closer:tears:

Compton! The owners watched that thing while drinking gin and juice! lol

I think we have members in Compton

Compton was once rated No1 nicest place to live in the US. Its only a few miles from me so its a thought. I do love these old rcas.

That's a CTC-40 or 44! Those are fairly rare, and that's in nice shape too.

Compton has a bad rep, but let me tell anyone concerned, that it's no more or less safe than Canoga Park, or Van Nuys, or nowadays, even Redondo Beach. Lots of hi-tech industry there now, and unless you go hang out in the county housing projects in a new, expensive vehicle, you'll be fine.

I put it in my watch list, and hope that someone will go rescue that set!

That CRT doesn't look too good from the outside.

just a cat, either you get that or green. most set of that era will have that problem. Can be fixed.

well its sweet, again I would be all over that, very nice looking cabinet.

Forget what I said earlier - I e-mailed the seller and the model is GL748F, which is a CTC-40 from 1969. Definitely worth saving.

I've had that model, and it's HEAVY. That's the only RCA (newer than the late 1949s) console that I've seen with a real, solid wood cabinet. Not laminated veneer, but a 3/4" thick slab of wood on top. It was definitely a high-end flagship model.

*Thanks Andy for clarifying on the 44 vs 40... I couldn't remember which chassis mine had. It was indeed a 23V.

GRRR, I just missed it. Was driving to work and it finished while the computer was booting up.
