The "one that ALWAYS "gets away"..

[rca2000]

Who here has a number of those "special" sets they seek out, that always seem to "get away"?? Now I am NOT talking about some "one off". I am talking about sets that were mass--produced (eve on a very small scale,l like the RCA2000, which I own 2 of).

IN my own case---I always seem to miss sets such as the RCA "Direct address" sets. I have had the opportunity to get these 3 times, one was a 19" set--and they always get away.

ALso a set i have never seen--a 1968 model Zenith SOLID STATE 19" BW (other than HV rect) set--chassis # 1y21B55. It is a flat--chassis with hand--wired construction. I have the Zenith technical manual and sams--but I have NEVER seen one. I DO have a 1M30T20 13" 1965 set, though.

Same with the RCA CTC49 set. I missed one chassis only, over 25 years ago.

Funny, I figured all of these SS sets would be MUCH easier to find than many tube sets, like a CTC-5 or 29JC20. Instead,I have both of those and a CTC-7 too.


SO, what sort of POST--WAR sets do you all seek--that always seem to "get away"??
