Just to add to Pete and Don's comments.... RCA was pressured into a CT-100 buy back program for those who had purchased the 15" sets. This after the 21" (21-CT-55) color set was introduced. The recalled CT-100's were donated to colleges and tech schools or re-sold at a HEAVY discount to RCA employees. I also have a late 1954 ad from a New York city appliance dealer offering CT-100s for $495, half the previous retail. The ad states "only 32 left in stock". Tough to unload almost 5000 sets that no one wanted. THEN!
