Latest CT-100 acquisition

Mighty Fine Score There!

I have seen only one CT-100 in all the years that I worked on TV's, which means since I was nine years old. It was around 1966. I remember seeing BATMAN in color for the first time. I was allowed to have a look at the entire set, not to mention adjust up the colors. The set was owned by a wealthy older lady that knew my parents. I only went to her home one time. Her set looked similar to your new toy, Steve, but was in a much darker cabinet. Maybe a dark mahogany, or an Ebony style. It was an old set, then, but I remember its massive cabinet that had not been removed from the house since they bought it new. There was not a mark on the cabinet. My mom, who would notice flaws in wood furniture like a hawk notices a mouse, remembers the thing as looking brand new, and was surprised at its age.

Im also glad that you have aquired another set to restore and display. Sounds like this one has not just sat there not being used like many others have been. We have to keep these old sets a-runnin!
