Who's CT100 is this?

There are likely more examples of original or "nearly original" sets around than those that have been rebuilt with modern parts. Most sets that can be found have dead CRTs... once the CRT is gone there is little to no motivation to rebuild the electronics. However, It is also good to have a few very good working examples for comparison to modern technology.

Good reply! However, would you like to buy one someone else has already restored or would you prefer to do that yourself?

I don't have a clear answer to that... too many variables, quality of the work, overall quality of the operation of the set, price, location. Each set offered has its own merits to consider.
