I will be moving my stuff to a new location soon.- I have a NUMBER of things I do NOT want to move. one is a CTC-15 or 16 RCA combo, with a hybrid stereo. All there--condition unknown.
Come and get it. I might even let go of the other ctc-16 set i have that DID produce a raster some years ago.And I will throw in the ctc-15 philco set , bad cabinet--but all there--too.
