what a NICE set! I'm jealous. Love the cabinet style on that one. I wish I would come across a smaller "roundie". ALl of mine are too huge and I haven't been able to have one upstairs.
It's pretty cool that the owners had it "kept up" into the 80's. 83 was about the "tail end" of when you could get a replacement tube, and alot of RCA's parts for the tube sets were NLA by the mid to late 80's.
When I worked in my Uncle's TV shop I remember one of the last roundies he worked on. A CTC-16, and the owners had a nw flyback AND picture tube installed which was pretty amazing. By the late 70's early 80's people were junking those out left and right....
