4 more 50s color sets
 

I just returned from Gainesville where I picked up 4 RCA sets: One CTC4, one CTC5 and two CTC7s. They aren't mint, that's for sure, but for $100 each I couldn't pass them up. If anyone wants to take a look here are the urls:

I also picked up the rebuilt 21FJP22s in Dallas and dropped off my dud 19VP22. They are going to attempt a rebuild on this tube even though it has some air in it. If the leak is on the frit we will seal it with Vacseal. Since the FJPs were all successfully rebuilt Phil says they will attempt 21CYP22s. Maybe 21AXP22s next?

Hey Fred,
Looks like your work bench is going to be very busy. I believe the metal CTC-7 is the "Abington" deluxe model 21CD872. Keep us posted on the tube rebuild.

Thanks for the info Steve. I thought it might be but wasn't sure.

Nice score Fred! How is it you managed to land 4 great sets?

Hi Cory,
A mutual friend in television broadcast service introduced me to Paul late last year. He had 7 50s sets and wasn't going to have time to work on all of them. As you can see from the pix they were not being stored in the very best of conditions and he wanted them to go to a safe place. He decided to sell 4 of the 7 sets (my choice) so I got them. It was just one of those deals I couldn't pass up. I'll be checking all the crts this weekend.

Fred,

Good scores! That Sanford looks really nice! That CTC-4 is the same one I have. It came as a tabletop or with a leg undercarriage, each offering with a different model name. Mine has the legs.
