Thanks to all who commented, offered advice, and information regarding this set. You guys can be a tough crowd!!

I've been in contact with the selling agent and made a deal to purchase the set for $75. Attached is another photo the seller sent to me of this set. It's now possible to see the RCA Victor name tag on the upper plate, and the New Vista next to the COLOR tag under the screen. Does the tuning knob look correct? It almost appears that something may be missing?

I'm going to pick up the set in about a week. I'll be checking the crt at that time, and if it's DOA I may reconsider the purchase.

Thanks again and I'll post some additional pictures when it arrives here in NJ at it's new home.

PS (They also have an early Philco console TV for sale. It's kind of pricey. They have it listed at $300, but said they would take $200. Still sounds quite high to me. If anyone is interested, PM me and I'll give you the contact information. It's located in the Philadelphia, PA area.)

Looks complete to me. Wow on the condition of the cabinet, that thing was well cared for.

The logos look identical to my CTC-11, which is playing about three feet from here as I type.

The big channel selector knob looks correct. The channel number is illuminated through a little keystone-shaped opening at the top. The skinny knob above the big selector is the fine tuner.

These articles may be interesting once you get around to restoring it:

I agree with Mark. For $75.00 that set is a steal. You can, if need be, find a replacement pix tube. If you can transport it yourself, all the better. Take a friend along to help.
The Philco b&w is overpriced. Older doesn't always translate to more rare or more valuable.
