I can see borrowing the cabinet of your complete CT-100 for a temporary place to put the proto type, but the CT-100 is one of those sets that like the 621 deserves to be preserved and restored IMHO.
Nick, if you paid 250$ on that monochrome set for the cabinet and less than half of that was for shipping, then A.) you wanted it real quick realy bad, or B.) you really let your self get fleeced. The most I've ever spent on a set was 120$ the two sets hold that most expensive distinction are my restored-by-the-previous-owner, Damn cool looking 59' Zenith, and the Silvertone roundy. RCAs of that era are still readily obtainable for nearly free on craigs list, etc for little or nothing if one is patient.
Sets like the cabinet donor I'd only be tempted to spend more than 50$ back when I was stronger into mono if they had been restored, of were ultra-mint.
