Ctc12

[Bill R]

Yes tube is necked. It slid up against the back of the truck while moving in 1971. Set was working until then. It was unloaded and put in a spare room. It has stayed in the same spot for the last 40 years. It was the family set in the 60's, the guy I got it from told me he remembered watching the moon landing on that tv and he just couldn't put it out on the curb. He gave it to me instead. I will restore it when I have time. I would like to know it's name though. My field service guide does not list that model number. It is a high hours set I think, so I hope the flyback is good.

Bill,

While your model #213g356mv isn't listed in the RCA Color TV Field-Service Guide, it is listed in the SAMS Photofact Index #640. Of course no model name is given. Anyone have a CTC-12 (Mark 8 series) catalog?

The model # you posted is different from the one Bill posted. I've seen the Bentley/Trent model and the cabinet style is similar but different from the photo Bill posted. The Bentley & Trent have sculpted legs and slightly different grill cloth pattern.

Speaking of Moon landings! I still own the set I watch the first moon landing on.
From the 1963 RCA catalogue "The Abbeville". I purchased the set used in
June 1968 and here it is 43 years later. OH, ya just know these are all gone.
