Not sure what's up with that CTC-5 w/the glass tube. Maybe a prototype for the conversion kit? I believe RCA carried CTC-5 models into the next model year simply because they had so many CTC-5 models left unsold. My late 1957 RCA sales brochure shows both CTC-5 & Mark Series CTC-7 models. I doubt they had CTC-5 & 7 production lines running at the same time. As for the high prices of those
Craig's List sets, I figure the seller will be willing to accept a lower price and the buyer will think he's getting a bargin. Good sales ploy.
