Chad,

The CT-100 ad on Tom Genova's site was submitted by me from my collection. The ad is the only national advertisiment I've seen for the RCA CT-100. I do have several local (Los Angeles) CT-100 ads that are from May of 1954 from various stores announcing the availibility of the CT-100 Merill for $1000.00. The ads picture the set with Dinah Shore on the screen. I also have ads from the New York City area around the same time. Also a New York City area store ad in late 1954 announcing that CT-100 prices have been cut in half to $495.00 to "move em out". I have searched for years and never found a national magazine ad in color. As for the 15" being a stop gap set. Probably. RCA had a 19" in the works but skipped it when the 21AXp22 was perfected later in 1954. If anyone out there has a CT-100 ad in color I would apppreciate hearing about it.
