Your photos give me a warm and fuzzy feeling! I like them all. The first image is soft with a great complexion on the woman. Who is she and the movie?

Looks like Judy Garland to me.

If you don't mind a working table model CTC5 with a later glass jug or a weak 21AXP and a bit of fotofinish flaking (and I get my other CTC5 going by spring), and you can get someone to pony Express it to you from the ETF or come n git it there I'd give give you the dirt cheap friends and family price (and I don't mean the redheaded step-4th cousin with 15 toes twice removed and regrowed price :D).

Judy Garland, as Esther in "Meet Me in St. Louis," the scene where she sings "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" to "Tootie" (Margaret O'Brien). :D

At first I lifted all of the images from the internet and played them through my over the air converter/media player. Then when I went back to broadcast reception, one of the local subchannels was playing the same movie! And, the picture looked better than what I had grabbed from the internet, so I quickly took some more shots and selected these two.

Don't be too envious - as noted here many times, The CTC-5 Super chassis is RCA's "barely better than none at all" color TV. A true white elephant of a vintage set; still, I will "love it and pet it and call it George."

That picture sure beats the flat panel tvs. Nothing like an old crt set its warm and the colors are as real as it gets unlike flat tvs , cartoon looking colors. That set looks great. And just think the reason crt tvs were discontinued they say it because of the hazardous meterials but flat tvs have hazardous stuff too, what a waste.

I can barely bring myself to call those ugly black plastic thingies "Televisions".. They are video display devices a step or 2 removed from airport terminal arrival/departure info devices..

My wife guessed Judy Garland. I’m going to find that movie. Well done.
