Garage Sale Find - RCA CTC-5

I found this set this morning at a garage sale just down the block from my house. It looks to be well kept, the cabinet look almost new. I had to go home to get a cart to pick it up, and the woman at the sale went inside and found the original booklet for it.

I don't have a color CRT tester right now, so I'm not sure of the CRT condition. I was told it hadn't been used in many years.

I am in the process of moving all my stuff to a new house, so I don't have much time to look into the set in more detail right now. I will install it in my living room as a "static display", and try to get it going over the winter.

I was doing a bit of reading, and it appears the "Super" chassis doesn't produce a very good color picture? I will have to see what the set can do.


The sale also had a nice Zenith Porthole set for sale.
