Top of the line in '58

As mentioned, it is the Worthington (21RC899) CTC-7. Uses the 21CYP22 picture tube. There is just below the channel indicator, on the upper right, a pull down Burled wood door, the brass pulls can be seen. Behind the door are electronic tuning buttons that duplicate all the functions of the remote control. The multi function "wireless wizard" remote control stores in a velvet lined compartment behind another pull down door below the remote receiver sensor on the cabinet upper left. This tv had a very complex on set all electronic tuning system coupled with the remote. A very pricey set at $1200.00 1958 dollars. There is another mint condition Worthington owned buy a private collector here in Los Angeles.
