The cost would vary greatly by how many of the legions of CT-100 parts (caps, resistors, coils, variable pots, tubes, etc.) needed to be replaced, as well as how much alignment time might be necessary based on the condition of the vital and secondary components, many of which either cannot be replaced or must be rebuilt or salvaged if possible from other lesser sets (if you can find one).

If you were to pay $3-5,000 for a good CT-100, another 10-20% for electronic (not the cabinet) restoration would be a rough estimate.

However, if you do not have a strong 15GP22 CRT to start with, then do not expect restoration/alignment to deliver a great picture.
