Early Westinghouse rectangular color set

[captainmoody]

If they wanted to be realistic, They should show at least one RCA with pva rot! When I was servicing those things in the seventies they were already looking bad...
Most people found it difficult to purchase a new color tv back then (at least around here)and bought second hand roundies and late 60's stuff for their homes.
There was one customer I had that didn't get a color tv until 1981 when I sold him a CTC 22!
As a matter of fact, That set came from my first ad I placed for non working sets back then!
I paid for very few of them, Most of the time the people would gladly give them to me just to get them out of their house!
This was '81 and I was getting CTC 7's through 16's regularly, They were still in use until then!
Back then I hated the round sets because they looked so old to me and were not worth as much for resale! When I would go to a house to pick up a tv odds were that it was one of those, I had so many that I started storing them at my Uncle's house (and others!) Earlier this year, I finally got the last few that were left there by me in the eighties and gave several to Doug.
