You and I discussed a couple of months ago about the steady rise of prices for these early color sets. That two edged sword. We can now command more for the sets if we sell them. But, it is becoming increase-
ingly more expensive to collect them. By the time you add in shipping and then the costs of parts ect. to complete the restoration, it will become very difficult to stay in the hobby for the average collector. I'm not sure what the answer is. I guess what ever the market will bear will be the rule.
SteveD,

The auction price of this CTC-5 is already way more, even before shipping than I can presently afford to pay for such additions to my collection. I guess the answer to your question about what to do is to go out and buy as many of these as you figure you will ever need...now (as in this year)!

Rob
