The "mystery" craigslist TV has been saved!

[rca2000]

Don't be so bitter. be glad that SOMEONE got it--and not a PACKER TRUCK!! SOOOOOOOO many of our treasures have ended up there. Unlike some...I do NOT have the attitude..."if I can't get it''...then let it get crushed!!" I MUCH rather SOMEONE save one--than see another irreplacable piece of Americana like a PRISTINE ctc-15 be crushed and lost forever.


I DO understand your frustration. I SOOOO long wanted a 1957 CTC_5. They ALWAYS seemed to "slip out of my hands'. Too far away--too much, didn't find out, etc, etc. Thought I would NEVER get one--almost gave up.

Then, in Feb...I got my CTC5D--for about $200. It has a nearly PERFECT(to my CR-70 anyway),21AXP22A CRT and a fair cabinet. It does NOT work yet----but it is all there, including back. It will likely NEVER leave my possession.

And a couple of weeks ago, I got a 1965 25MC30 Zenith roundie, for about 40, from a local antique mall. . The tube was asleep--but is now "awake" and it does work some. GREAT cabinet!!

So...hang in there...If you don't give up--you WILL get a "good one". Check craigslist, and Ebay--and let friends know what you want. that is how I got the zenith--through a friend.
