[QUOTE=Tom_Ryan]Hi Doug,
Long time no see. I know first hand what great sets you have. I'd always admire your collection on the various occaisions we met at your place. Say, when did you get your CT-100? Does yours have a good tube? Looks like you thinned out the many the larger sets, except the blonde CTC-5. I still have the Packard Bell with the 27" round glass metal tube (remember the spare tube!- it was good and was just what was needed to replace the original tube which was gassy). I restored the electronics and the set works extremely well.
It's a predictable crowd here on AK and can sometimes get rather entertaining. Lots of great technical tips being shared too.
Welcome aboard!
Hi tom!
Good to hear from you! Im glad to hear that the Packard bell set is still around and now working! I was not too sure about the spare tube but glad it worked out! I had thinned out some of my collection, mostly the large bulky consoles and some of the common "bland" sets. I got my CT-100 back in the beginning of this year however the CRT is down to air....how typical! Did you restore that RCA "Director" CTC4 set? I really like that model and wish my "Director" was in good shape! Thanks for the welcome!
Doug
