It's in a ctc-16 cabinet (weird). I ain't bidding as I already have a 16 in this exact cabinet. I like these cabinets, not too big, conservative looking, nice arched legs, neat wood slat speaker coverings.

The ctc-20 uses a chassis very much like the ctc-31 but without the pincushion components.

Had one these in the 70's
Fixed her up and gave to my prior Girlfriend,then wife, then exwife. Sat for years in my motherinlaws. Think the EX tossed it last year though. They were a nice set. That was a good period in my life. A lot of good memories. Did not worry about money all the time like today! Wished it was in NY. I bid on it!

I know this guy. He's rob bilbao. He is also a member of AK but has not been active here in over 1 year. Seems like he is selling off his collection. He had a bunch of portables up a few months ago as well. Some of you guys might remember this TV on ebay about 2 years ago. It was in CA then but had the broken crt neck. He put in a good RCA 21FJ and sent me the broken one for the tinted lens. (I needed the tinted lens for my ctc16 at the time) Unfortunatly the rest of the glass including the lens was shattered when I received it so that project was further delayed untill charlie found a good lens for me. Anyway- Once rob got it going, it had a vertical issue. I helped him troubleshoot the circuit and pinned it down to the B+ wire resistor. (no vertical sweep). After that he replaced all the gh8's and it was perfect. Im surprised he is selling it. Its way out of my range though.

Yes; that was mine! I sold it on eBay with a busted CRT. I think the chassis worked somewhat, as I showed on a jig. Rob is a nice guy, and I would bid with confidence on anything he has.
That CTC-20 is the very chassis that I had referred to in another thread where I mentioned how RCA specially made that chassis to "get rid" of the stock of 21" tubes in about '69. I had found that TV out front of an apartment in a bad part of Los Angeles, and I rescued it... Then Rob resuscitated it! I saw it working a couple months ago when I went down there to pick up another TV I got from him. Charles Last edited by Kaye-Halbert TV; 12-18-2005 at 01:46 PM.

Nice set - too bad it's so far away though. One of these days I'll find a roundie within driving distance... One of these days...
That's a really nice looking cabinet too. Also, it doesn't have UHF, and I don't see space for a UHF tuner - I take it UHF wasn't an option on this model? Wasn't UHF fairly common by 1969? -Ian

If the setup is anything like my panasonic, the UHF is probably there, but is nothing more than a variable condenser controlled by the VHF fine tuning knob.
I thought UHF was standard on american sets by 1964?

It has UHF... It's the newer style of tuner where you use the FT ring to tune UHF. There are 2 channel windows. I think they did that on late CTC-16s through CTC-25.

I would have bid 200 if I didn't have one already. Seeing that it does work including the picture tube and flyback is worth something over just some set sitting there dead as a doornail and you don't know what might be shot in it. I paid a little more than that for mine but then it was in mint working condition and fixed up by a guy who was a tv repairman for years so I didn't have to spend any $ on caps, which sometimes can run $50 to $100 on a really old color set with tons of wax caps and 'lytics in it. And this is California where everything is expensive : (
