Could you get us a photo?
That is real neat that you know such info. I would think that there could be a fair # of those 300 sets still there. I get the impression that a place like Brazil has an extremely large percentage of low income people and those are the types that may keep such old stuff. I imagine the rich, who originally bought them, would have gotten rid of them a year or two after first getting them. So, then they would likely give them to relatives. The relatives would pass them down to the poor relatives or anybody else to get rid of them. I imagine the poor in Brazil being much more likely to keep something like an attractive nonworking TV in their home than the poor Americans. I expect many of them were gutted to use cabinet for other purposes like in many in America. However, crazy as my speculation may seem, I just think there could be some roundies in Brazil for someone who may want to look for them.
Here's something almost as crazy: I live close to Miami and I love the history of Miami and I love being there. I have always been very comfortable with Spanish/Latin people but I don't speak the language. My life involves much stuff to make it hard for me to take time out to learn Spanish so I put it off. It is kinda akward to be with Latin people who are my "freinds" when they speak their own language. In Miami I have seen homes and business that are full of old stuff, more than I see in "American" peoples' places. So, I am going to try to learn Spanish to go to old TV shops and maybe I will get lucky! I mean to find a TV not sex(haha). The Latins love to make love!
The old RCA shop I recently posted info on was operated by a great man named Bob Rinker and when I spoke of a CTC-15, etc. he seemed to respond as though he thought I might be a little nuts.
