Rob, I agree that a minty working CT-100 might someday fetch $6500, Terry's set for example, but one with an unknown CRT, unknown chassis, bad finish?
Not to say if I had $1500 laying around I wouldn't buy it in the present condition, I just don't think I'd go much higher.
I don't know the capabilities of the seller but it would be nice if he could take some pictures of the back side and pull the yoke and let us see the getters.
Anyway lets hope the buyer will join us and let us know what shape it's in
