I found a Sylvania round color set!

I'm definitely excited about this project... I can't wait to get started. Tonight or tomorrow I'm going to clean up the cabinet, and hopefully I'll be able to stop by the library to get the PhotoFact. I'm going to need to order more caps! I'll post progress and more pictures as I get to it.

I wonder how many of these Sylvania CTC4's are out there?

That removable top cover they did for the ctc-4s they should of carried over into other models, the ctc5 I used to have, you had to take bas ck cover off and reach into cabinet. I never understood why RCA didn't keep top for later models??

I suspect it was simply cheaper to glue the top on.


WOW! What a find! I never even thought of Sylvania having such a model.

Ian,

As I ponted out in my CTC-4 clone post. There is at least one other example of your 21" Sylvania at the ETF Museum in Hilliard, Ohio. That makes a total of two known. Very rare indeed.
