Thanks for posting the '68 catalog. RCA really had some top notch good looking cabinets. I too have always liked those vertical combos but I never saw one other than a magnavox. Some of those other cabinets were quite unique and I've never seen anything like it. Once I started to skroll down to the middle range and cheaper sets did I start to recogize them! I have an FL-532WR 23" remote table set that I got from Jamie back in '03. I still have it and is one of my favorite sets. Im surprized it wasn't in the '68 catalog there. I'm pretty sure its a '68 though, granted they didn't publish every single model available in the catalog of course.
I also have one of those "Headliners", the EJ505. I picked mine up at an estate sale back in '98. Those little CTC-22's have a great picture. That whole set basically works off of 5GH8's. They have like 8 or 10 of them scattered around the PC boards. I actually have a nice little booklet discussing the engineering details of the CTC-22. It shows pictures of the TV apart, but its not for the service tech, its more like an informational brochure for sales dealers. The book discusses the details and go in depth other than just telling you its equipped with a 5" twin cone speaker for supurb life like sounds etc. I also have a GJ-697W which was a curb side find back on in 2002.
I think we should post pictures of our sets that are published in these catalogs, we can them as an published in the brochure, and what they look like now 40 years later.
