New Guy Here with a CTC-5 "Wescott"

Wow, that's a great score. Santa came early this year!

Ed Reitan's website has a lot of info about early color TVs:

If you go to the Color Receiver Gallery, you'll see a product brochure for your TV and a few details about that model.

As Sandy G mentioned, it is pretty standard procedure to replace the old capacitors on these sets, to ensure safe and reliable service. They deteriorate with age, and it would be a real shame to damage such a nice set if one of the old electrolytic caps fails.

Dave,

Welcome to AK. I'm glad you took my advice and posted here. These good folks pretty much echo my comments to you about taking care to have your CTC-5 checked out by a qualified tech. Wonderful, original condition example of this set.
