CT-100 on eBay!

[John Folsom]

I recently had a 15" color set shipped from New Hampshire to Florida for $350, residence to residence. They pick it up and put it on a pallet. So I expect you could ship this CT100 for much less than the sellers estimate. The agent I used is Florida Moving Systems, http://www.flmove.com/ (321) 259 4330 , ask for Mike Stadt, and he can give quote you a price. They can set up a move for any from/to destination in teh USA. And tell Mike I said "hi".

Good luck, hope one of you Audiokarmites gets the set. Everyone should have a CT100!

I think so too, I remember reading it in some old RCA book. I can't seem to find it now.

Perhaps one of the 15g experts can tell us if this is really true?

With all that unobtainium in there, you could ship that CRT in a box filled with wadded dollar bills for packing material, and still come out ahead

Not at all. If it works you are way ahead. If it doesn't, well...

Critical repair parts being unobtainable, expense to ship such critical parts should not be questioned. Spend the money necessary to have the unit, and any parts needed to be shipped separately, survive being drop-kicked out of the plane.

This puppy is going to command a lot of green. I sure would want lots of info and recent pics (esp. showing live action), before I would bid. It is a beauty, but I would want more than a beautiful paperweight for all that green.

RCA varied the delivery throughout the short life of the CT-100. Some were delivered in three parts. Cabinet/chassis/CRT. Some came complete.
