Welcome to the "Roundie" family! I know you will enjoy it for years to come. I have 3 working ones now. My favorite so far is my 1966 CTC-16XL. Excellent color and sharp images! Congratulations!!

Beautiful picture, mine has that sort of "technicolor" look to it too!

I'm figuring out mine needs a little work, the picture jumps a bit in vertical height, and when the room is completely dark, I can see arcing inside the 6BK4 plate cap. Once the set is warm I can hear more or less constant arcing in the flyback zone, and also smell a bit of ozone.

The "fish bowl" shape of the screen is really not as hard to get used to as I imagined, since action is usually confined to the middle of the screen. I imagine it would be less nice for sports, etc, where the score is in the corner.

The sound also has quite a lot of noise in it, depending on what's going on on-screen.

Sit farther away from the screen, it's less noticable the farther away you are.
