I see said the blind man.
Thank you gentlemen, the both of you and also Electronic M.
Very well explained and clears up my misconceptions. Moving forward.
About Ed Reitan. I never met him, but spoke to him on the phone. I think you all know of his contributions to our hobby and was sad to learn of his passing. We were lucky to “win” a CTC-7 Worthington at an ETF auction. It belonged to the estate of Ed Reitan. RIP. Was thrilled to be the custodian and set about a full restoration with Mike Doyle. I liked the provenance of the set and it’s design.
Created a tribute to Ed on this website.
https://visions4magazine.com/2017/04...rst-blog-post/ It’s hosted for free and loaded with advertisements. I apologize for that. You can see a sneak preview of “An Evening With Fred Astaire” displayed on a 21CT55, with the goal of displaying the Special on Ed’s CTC-7. Both the Worthington and Special were introduced in 1958. We have since accomplished this but I can’t show it to you because Mr. Astaire’s widow will come down hard. She is strongly opposed to having the Special on the internet. Many thanks to the generous donor who shall be nameless.
