Hello, thanks for the warm welcome
Those CTC 5 color TVs are sure pretty rare these days. I talked to the seller about the person whom he got it from and it was actually found in the pantry of an old British lady's house about a decade ago where it remained forgotten for decades. There is also a little damage on the top of the TV from a plant or something wet that sat on it. I also got an unsold December 9, 1952 Electrohome I picked up in Hamilton, Ontario just on April 19th of this year as well too
There was also another CTC 5 that sold on eBay not that long ago for over $1000 US as well and this one was missing it's back board. The Westcott I just got also has UHF as well-now that's pretty rare for a 1950's TV set as most 1950's TV sets were VHF-only with an option to add a UHF converter. UHF tuners became manditory in US made TV sets in 1962 while UHF tuners became manditory in TV sets in Canada in 1970. Transister/solid state color TVs started to appear in about 1967 or so here in North America
