Man! I'm surprised this set has such high bidding considering it's CTC-16 (relatively new), it's in the plain metal cabinet, and he doesn't even have any photos of the tube operating! In fact, it could possibly have a weak tube. When did metal 16's start bringing such a high price?
Of course, more power to him if he can get it! I know I wouldn't mind someone giving me that much for a plain set!
I have one in the garage. Just needs a working CRT.
