What an awesome find! I would probably pee my pants if i stumbled across one of these and was able to buy it. One good thing is that if you choose to restore it you have plenty of help to guide you through the process. Good luck!

the radio museum in huntington w. va has the same set. it currently not working! i offered to buy it last fall,but they laughed at me. said it was so rare that it is worth thousands. for a non working set?i if thats the case,yours is worth millions. their cabinet was pretty rough too.

I just worked on another AK member's CTC-4 recently and aligned it. Those sets have a nice picture when they're restored and set up.

Congratulations on finding a VERY rare set! You have found your once-in-a-lifetime find. And to find ANY one-owner fifties color set is an event by itsself... Do the math: A color TV in 1955 cost about half what a new Chevy cost. So that was a purchase only for the financially secure family. A doctor, or an established businessman. So assume that the buyer was about 40, that makes him/her well into their 90s today.
