Went to see an 11 today...

[Charlie]

Today I went to see a CTC-11 that is not too far from my camp. It's a black metal cabinet on shiny brass legs. The set is super clean, but has issues. From what he told me, the guy was watching it till it lost vert deflection about a year ago. I took the back off for a quick glance, and saw the CRT has a brightener on it. The chassis was clean and shiny. Has a few knobs missing due to little kids, but the guy said he can find them. He plugged it in, but seems there was no B+ because there was no audio, no white line on the screen, and no singing of the Horz Osc.

The guy wants 75 bucks for it, and seems pretty firm on it. So far, the only positive thing is that it's really clean in and out.

What do ya'll think? Should I give him the 75 dollars? Or pass on this?
