I still have a CTC4 that I bought in 1966 from a gentleman that bought it new in Ohio and hauled it back in his truck. I installed a RCA 21AXP22 from Radio Electric Supply here in town- first CRT replacement of many that I performed. It has been in storage since 1970- think the caps are still good?

Yeah, just bein' facetious-My cousin Johnny Harrison-Owned Harrison's Bootery-had a light green colored metal-cased roundie color set when I was a kid-I can remember coming up to see it-Color was still a BIG deal then-& my grandad bought a woodgrain metal Zenith roundie about '65 or so-I have that set now. Its currently inoperative.
