I notice this one is missing the "COLOR" decal from the safety glass. I had heard the set that got shot was a CTC-31 but who knows?

One of those guys that hung with Elvis says that the TV shooting thing just got to be a joke with Elvis, he was never angry when he did it, just a fun luvin' guy.

Gave the impression that Elvis killed MANY a TV set, even in hotels, not just one.

Some of them did, some of them didn't. I don't know why; perhaps it was a mid-production change.

Thats my favorite CTC-31. Wheres the remote control? Funny how a gun shot TV survived after all these years just because elvis owned it.
As for the 5, I have the exact same model and it does have "COLOR" on the glass.

Maybe Elvis had a few too many drinks and confused a gun with the remote?

I'd hope that these sets were positioned in the room in such a way that, when Elvis started shooting at them, the bullets not penetrate an inside wall and hit someone in another room...
