A very nice find. I like the cabinet.

This must be CTC-5 week.

Trade ya for my Maple finished Wingate? Nice set!

joemama99 09-06-2012 08:11 PM

Where did you get that,being in Florida?

DaveWM 09-06-2012 09:19 PM

its going to be a while before I get to it, still in the back of my truck. I want to finish up on that GE roundie before I get into another set. Maybe in a couple weeks before I can get any more details on it. Between this one and the 2 other 5's I have (both are pretty ruff and I have not touched them so don't know much about them), I am pretty sure I will be able to get it going. My next oldest nice set is a CTC-9 with a good 21CYP22 so it would be nice to have something older. I like the sets with the doors on the front, nice protection for the CRT's.

:banana::banana:Hey I had a ctc5 I sold earlier this year sometimes you have to let it go for something more important I did get a ctc 16 but the crt is broke hope I can find another crt for this set:tears::tears:

zenithfan1 09-06-2012 10:17 PM

Great score! That Wingate is very nice looking, where did you find it? My Wingate is on the NEVER sell list, they are just so pretty, it's the best 5 you can get IMHO:D I hope your 21AXP22 is good. It took me about 3 years to find a good one for mine but it was worth it to keep it un-modified.

Awesome find!! I like that style cabinet! :yes:

I wonder if it migrated south with a retiring couple who may have bought it new. Wouldn't it be a gas to find it was purchased on Radio Row?

Dave,

Welcome to the Wingate club. Seems a lot of this model were sold and are turning up. It was RCA's most expensive CTC-5 model. I have the Maple finish but have also owned a Wingate in the French Walnut finish. Very nice find.
