The story behind all the rare sets

[peverett]

I have not found any rare TV sets, but have found rare radios. A classic example is how I found my Regency TR1. I cleaned out a TV shop where not only had the owner(who had died) saved just about every thing that had been left at his shop for 40+years, he had also gotten items from other TV repairmen in his city. The TR1 was lying on the floor among the other junk. Luckily, it had not been stepped on and was in great shape-including the leather cover.

I did get some early RCA color sets also-CTC5s and a CTC 9. Other collectors have the CTC5s, but I still have the CTC9(+ a spare chassis).
