I worked for RCA when they reached the CTC numbering 100. They skipped "100", going from 99 to 101. I had a CTC101, with the comb filter, and the infamous unreliable flyback.

Is the CRT in that CT100 any good? That socket crumbling like that doesn't look good, though it might still be airtight and wire leads connectable. And be sure to get the serial numbers for the database.

The finder of the set was asking himself and John F. the same thing.
