Watch the Tournament of roses parade on the 1st on your roundie?

I am.

Last analog broadcast of it too!

The ultimate would be watching the parade on an analog channel on a Model 5, but I suspect none of the three(?) restored sets are operating.

I'll be trying to get acceptable video of the parade from an analog station on my CT-100 to post on YouTube for posterity... or however long YouTube lasts.

Uploaded my first try a few days ago, a shaky no-sound vid of Rita Hayworth. If you haven't seen it just search YouTube for RCA CTC2 or RCA CT-100 should work too.

Well, I haven't got the replacement glass CRT mount for my CTC-5 devised in time, but I am recording it and plan to look at it as soon as I have an operating set. And I hope to be watching some analog TV before it goes away.

Wish mine was working today. I'm finishing my 21CT55 this afternoon, and the Model 5 is next on the list to repair.

Hi Don. Did you get a picture? It would be historic. You likely are the only person in the world with a TV set that received the first and last NTSC Rose Bowl parade broadcast in color...
