Through the late 70' and into the 80's our clan had 2 B/W console sets that I would pay good money to obtain, if I ever stumbled upon either one again.

The first was an RCA in the Danish Modern style. I don't know the exact year or model number, but it was made sometime after '68 when RCA dropped the meatball logo. I have searched old literature and cannot seem to find that exact set.
The second set was an Admiral low boy console in the Early American/Colonial style. I found sales literature on the web for it, looks like a '68/'69 model.

I wouldn't turn down a CT 100 if one became available, but certainly wouldn't go out of my way to get one. To me, the CT 100 is just butt ugly, and a real pain in the butt to keep functional, and the unobtainium parts make it all the more less attractive.

The upright B/W consoles of the mid to late 50's, to me are desirable. Problem is, they are almost always beat up when found, and the usual mahagony photofinish is impossible to repair. But most of them, brand is unimportant, make excellent sets.

And of course, late 50's / early 60's RCA color sets, after the CTC 9's, as well as the early Zenith color sets.

Also, always on the lookout for early XL 100's. They are not worth the trouble to most people, but properly adjusted are fine everyday performers.
