"Based on the survivor rate of the CT100 of about 12 to 13%"
Ok, I am confused here... on another thread, Pete Deksnis said:
"The traditional estimate of 5000 CT-100 sets produced comes from the original RCA press release issued on the first day of production, March 25, 1954. However, based on my eleven-year quest for CT-100 serial numbers of the approximately 140 known survivors indicates just 4100 sets were produced by RCA, which is far more than any other manufacturer of 15-in. color sets in 1954."
This would be about 3.4%
Are there considerably differing estimates of production numbers, or perhaps a guess that perhaps only about 25% of the survivors are "known" by collectors?
Also, if 3 Motorolas are "known" and if indeed that might be 13% of total production, would that not imply about 25 rather than 500 produced?
just curious,
