This is my first post after a week or so of perusing this forum. My set is a set with the same design cabinet and color; mine is a RCA CTC-10 that was the lobby set at the TV station I worked at for 30 years in Tampa; according to the engineer I got the set from it was the loby set from 1960 to about 1970, then they changed to a rectangular tube set. I replaced the pcicture tube myself right after getting the set in about 1988 or so. So the tube only has about 5 hours on it--i turned the set on very sporadically and the picture was absolutley outstanding. it's presently in my garage because of a recent move, so hasn't been on in almost 2 years. last time I turned it on i had lost vertical output--just the infamous white line; so will have to work on that soon hopefully; I was just amazed that even though the brand is different, the cabinet is almost identical; the 10 is probably older though. ALso have a CTC-5 that I've never even attempted to delve into and have no idea what the condition is in electronically. It was obtained about the same time from a TV shop in south Tampa. it's the Aldrich Special from 1956. I may put that on Ebay, not sure yet. Just wanted to get a post in. have pictures of both sets just haven't looked into how to post photos here yet.
