Boo! Hiss!

Can I interest anyone in Chicken Fingers, Buffalo Wings, or perhaps Hen's Teeth?......Of course those may actually come to be, once genetic engineering of animals becomes a reality.

Everyone knows that the CTC-6 was never produced because the 21AXCYP22, which combined a glass funnel and a solid metal faceplate, was a sorry failure.

But on paper, it looked like a great cost saving innovation, eliminating the need for a safety glass or bonded on safey panel or tension bands.

Actually, I didn't know that, and I was just wondering, "Why no CTC-6?"

I'm trying to picture what a solid metal faceplate would mean. Can you be a little more specific?

It gave perfect reproduction of any color, as long as it was black.

Sounds like something Earl Muntz might have tried.

Lmao!

Ha, ha, I get it now. So, why did RCA skip 6 in that model number sequence? Corporate randomness?

And yet we have two versions of the CTC-5... perhaps the two ended up being so similar that a new designation was unwarranted?

Well the CTC-3 was not a receiver chassis, but a convergence chassis for the CTC-2B used in the 21CT55, and the CTC-4 had it's convergence chassis built onto the main chassis...Perhaps the CTC-6 and CTC-8 were the convergence boards/chassis for the respective CTC-5 and CTC-7 chassis.

I think RCA skipped many CTC numbers.

True. Here's a link to the reason why there was never a "lucky" CTC13. From years ago on my site:
