remember the smell of a new television back then

I'm not sure how to discribe the smell of a CT-100 after its warmed up. But it is unique and unmistakable. I have noticed this melding of wood, tube electronics, and perhaps frying dust aroma in all the operating CT-100's I have encountered over the years. Perhaps others can comment.

Yes. When I switch on all my tube tv sets together, I can smell this strong hot tube aroma after ten minutes in the whole room. It is a smell that no other electronic devices had. Only tube devices have it, and I like it.

Great photo of your collection. And of course, the CTC-5 Aldrich is the centerpiece.

Yes, it is the biggest one, just like a refrigerator. And remember the Aldrich was the small tabletop model in 1956.
