Dirty bastid :D

Boo! Hiss!

Can I interest anyone in Chicken Fingers, Buffalo Wings, or perhaps Hen's Teeth?......Of course those may actually come to be, once genetic engineering of animals becomes a reality. :D

Everyone knows that the CTC-6 was never produced because the 21AXCYP22, which combined a glass funnel and a solid metal faceplate, was a sorry failure.

But on paper, it looked like a great cost saving innovation, eliminating the need for a safety glass or bonded on safey panel or tension bands. :D

Actually, I didn't know that, and I was just wondering, "Why no CTC-6?"

I'm trying to picture what a solid metal faceplate would mean. Can you be a little more specific?

It gave perfect reproduction of any color, as long as it was black. :D

Lmao!

Ha, ha, I get it now. So, why did RCA skip 6 in that model number sequence? Corporate randomness?

And yet we have two versions of the CTC-5... perhaps the two ended up being so similar that a new designation was unwarranted? :scratch2:

Well the CTC-3 was not a receiver chassis, but a convergence chassis for the CTC-2B used in the 21CT55, and the CTC-4 had it's convergence chassis built onto the main chassis...Perhaps the CTC-6 and CTC-8 were the convergence boards/chassis for the respective CTC-5 and CTC-7 chassis.

I think RCA skipped many CTC numbers.

The CTC16 had an X-version - AFTER the CTC17, which also had an X-version, with a controls like the CTC16X, Im getting dizzy :p

Just consider me in the market for a CTC13 and CTC14 :)

Ctc 6?
 

Being around this field for a long long time, I thought someone had found a chassis I didn't know existed. They were having enough trouble selling off the CtC5 Series, which then wouldn't make sense to bring out a six series on top of it. Besides the changes that were made to the CTC 7, made it much more practical for homeowners to own.
