Well said. I'm sorry that those who felt so strongly about the set found it challenging to come to terms with who got it, but there will always be another TV set, radio, clock, you name it material desirable item.
Having said that, I hope that this event doesn't put so much of a bad taste in everyone's mouth to keep the buyer from posting updates and progress on this set. The CTC-5 seems to be the 2nd most popular old color set on these forums and each set's history and status is almost as important as the Merrills out there. I hope to see screenshots soon. Right now owning a 50's color set is but a dream of mine. All my energies are into my 35/70mm home cinema and film collection. I only have room for one big hobby which I've built up over 15 years and I need to leave my wife SOME room in the house for her interests. All of you folks who write about saving old sets, showing restoration updates and proudly demonstrating your collection are an excellent substitute for people like me. These posts allow me to live vicariously through all of your vintage TV's without actually having one and for that I am grateful to all of your for your efforts.
Please enjoy your TV's for me and I'll run a reel of film for all of you.
