40' Single wide CM Roundie

[zenith porthole]

I saw this set back in June at that antique store while heading back from a rockabilly show in Indianappolis. I desperately wanted a color roundie, and at $75 the price wasn't too bad, but I left it. It wouldn't have fit in the truck bed! Judging from the sound of my Curtis Mathes, which is nearly have the size, the audio on this set must have been quite impressive. Aside from the size, the French Provicial look doesn't really match my midcentury modern decor. Had it been on of CM's Danish modern models, I would have strapped it to the roof of the car! I hope this set ends up in good hands, and doesn't become the world's first tambour-door fish tank/bar cabinet.

From what I can see of the chassis, it sure looks a lot like a CTC-16 clone.

Oh I wish that thing was closer to me. I would be all over that set.

I might have to drive down and pick this one up I live in the South Bend, In area. I already have one just like it in a different cabinet style (currently torn down on the bench)

Go for it! We're in Big Spring, TX this morning, just drove from Los Angeles on our way to Dallas to pick up an old Federal model 5 air raid siren that weighs 440 lbs...

You won't find another roundie Curtis Mathes any time soon. Somebody needs to save that one!
