Great set you got there, and the only RCA I would recommend to a beginner for restoring. These RCA's did not suffer the heat issues later sets did either.

I have the "Covington" in mahogany print on metal, which I believe yours is also. A fellow VK member traded me mine for a Zenith roundie. The model number on yours would be one number off for the black finish, 212-G-802 MV, 2=ebony. Not at all surprised on the CRT coming up like it did.

Dave- yours looks like it has UHF too. I never saw a CTC11 with the UHF tuner.
