Wow, that's a beautiful set. I have always wanted a round screen color TV.

That a 15 or 16? It says NewVista, weren't the 16's the first NewVista sets? Controls look like a 15 though. Early 16? Late 15?

They've taken the description of "Color TV" a little too literally....it's ONE color! :lmao: Nice looking set, and it even still has that hanging tag.

The "Wakeley" model printed on hang tag (although RCA spells it Wakely in its service guide) is a CTC-11 series (1962). The 4 controls below the hang tag are a clue it's a pre CTC-12 chassis.
Nice clean set. I believe the term "New Vista" first appeared on the CTC-10 models.

Very nice set. I have my eye on this one too since its within driving distance. It would be nice to have a nice non-combo roundie set.

Now _that_ is a nice set. Looks like polaraman is going for it though. I can't even hope to compete with him :) . It's almost too nice though - it looks like it's in perfect condition. I'd love to get a roundie one of these days, but it would be fun to be able to do a little work on it too... Besides, I'd never be able to afford it anyway. I have a feeling this one's going to get expensive.

Good luck polaraman - we're rooting for you!

I am in Pennsylvania on vacation right now. The set will close before I have to go back to Georgia. Plus, it is on my way home. I decided to go for it.

that model had to be early 62" shortly after that they introduced the crt's with the bonded safety glass and anti-glare surface, by 1963 all crt's had the bonded glass both regular and ant-glare

But this set has a safety glass and wouldn't require a bonded tube?

In 1962 RCA offered CTC-11 models with both the 21FJ bonded or the 21FB conventional tube. Both were the new all-sulfide higher brightness tube.

No Polara...i didnt get the set. I wish i would have though just like you as i wanted a regular color roundie to go in my den where my roundie combo wont fit...lol...go figure. I just hope it went to a good home as that was a nice set. We might be lucky in the fact it might be a member from here that way we can see how it ends up.

Closed at $152.50, seems pretty cheap for a set that nice?

Is it right to say that the prices for vintage sets increase? On
http://www.earlytelevision.org/how_much.html
I read that "newer sets are worth less, with a 1965 set typically selling for under $100."
