I was out minding my business on Friday and was approached by
an unknown person that said she could no longer care for her TV
and said to take it home. As a good sumaritan, that I am, I could
not refuse. Its now residing in my museum, working and well.
The markings are CTC4, Is this the director.

It's not everyday you see those anymore! And for free!. Congrats! Looks like a very nice set.

Zowie!!

Ya lucky dog, yew!

Ah HATE Yew.....(grin) -Yosemite Sam, Esq.....Seriously, that is a REMARKABLE score ! Congrats !

Thats a very nice TV, and story. :D

Far out, what a find! Looks to be in nice original condition too - Bonus! :yes:

If that lady is elderly/a shut in, a NICE meal, bottle of wine, pumpkin pie, something of that nature might be a very nice & welcome "Thank You"...Down here, people put BIG stock in things like that.

Wow, that's all I can think to say! Great set.

Holy crap, don't see that every day! And the dag hasn't fallen off the CRT insulator or anything! That thing had to have been well cared for, that's for sure!

Ah HATE Yew.....(grin) -Yosemite Sam, Esq.....Seriously, that is a REMARKABLE score ! Congrats !

My sentiments exactly! Great find! :banana:

YAY!!!!

It's a real beauty. Probably lived in the living room its whole life!

It is a CTC-4 and is the "Director" model. Very nice find. Santa came early this year.

That's the model I would like to have some day. I only intend to make room for exactly one roundie color set, and probably I will wait until one of those comes along. Should be much easier to acquire than a CT-100. The later model roundies don't appeal to me much, for whatever reason. And an upright console takes a lot less space than the more common horizontal ones.

Very nice sets!

Wow, what a nice find.

Nice Find :thmbsp::thmbsp::thmbsp::thmbsp:

That is UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!

BTW, I discovered that the "dag" coating on the crt shroud on both the 21ct55 and the CTC4 is not dag at all. It is silver plating and in some cases it will oxidize to the point where it is totaly black.

You can clean it to like new condition with Tarn-x liquid tarnish remover that you can by at the hardware store. I stinks real bad so do it outside on a plastic tarp and have your garden hose to rinse off the Tarn-x. I used a soft sponge and it took about 3 applications to go from solid black to the silver gray color you see on crt shroud in the photo of this newly discovered Director set.

That has to be the cleanest ctc4 chassis I have ever seen. That little old lady must have loved that set to have kept it so long and cared for it so well. Thank you little old lady! Please be sure you do something nice for her in return and let her know that her cherrished set is alive and well and that it will be cared for long into the future.
