It's alot of cash to spend on something you may NEVER get to see work.

I totally understand that, but, I still want one. I know the right people when it comes to the CRT so it's not totally unobtanium, just VERY expensive. I also want one for the history factor. I also would like to have one example of every color chassis RCA made up to about CTC 16. Right now I only have a 4, 5 and a 9. A 7 is also on my "must have" list.
