View Full Version : Elvis and his CTC-5 classicradios 10-11-2008, 08:22 PM I found this image of Elvis and a CTC-5 while cleaning the attic. I don't remember seeing a photo with Elvis and the TV before, Only the photo of the CTC-5 in the music room at Graceland. This is a Blonde set so maybe the photo was taken in the Music room back in the 50's?

He moved to Graceland in 1957 and evidently took the TV with him. zenithfan1 10-13-2008, 08:06 AM I'm a HUGE Elvis fan. That is the only reason I would want a blonde Westcott. Cool pic, thanks for sharing! Sandy G 10-13-2008, 08:20 AM Didn't he buy Gladys a CTC-5, too ? Seems like I've seen pics of her next to an early color set, & the caption "Elvis' Mom w/the Color TV he bought for her" or somesuch, as in '56 a color TV was still a Pretty Big Deal... julianburke 10-17-2008, 08:02 PM That blonde CTC5 is common knowledge and appeared in Parade Magazine on the front cover in the 60's and I saved it too! |
