Color? Roundie in PA
Ok so forgive my complete lack of knowledge in color sets but this looks like it might make some one really happy for $25.

 I live in Syracuse and check the listings daily in Craigslist for Syracuse and surrounding areas. I did not see this one come up. Was it listed for only a few hours? You may recall I restored a CTC5 Whitby with the Deluxe chassis picked up in Toronto a couple of years ago. I feel the CTC5 is a good set but it has had a bad rap. Perhaps it is because the design had problems with the saggy HV Supply. It is good you have this set as we can open more CTC5 discussion. I have been putting off doing further work on my set and now will pursue this. It looks like the Arliss has it's original 21AXP22A. Mine did and I was surprised that the tube survived and emission tested excellent. Perhaps the reason the CRT survived was the drooping HV problem which made the picture a bit dim which deterred extra use? I trust the CRT in the Arliss will be good.  On a side note, the CTC5 and all subsequent RCA vacuum color tube sets, (up and beyond the end of the roundies) employed X-Z color demodulation. Of these, only the Deluxe CTC-5 employed a wide band chroma channel (+1.5/-0.5MHz). The upside of this will be better chroma resolution and the downside will be quadrature crosstalk between X and Z channels. The trade off is interesting and I remain curious the why wideband chroma was dropped in subsequent RCA sets. Was it cost or perhaps no actual technical benefit ?(Wideband chroma would require an extra tube for the required extra amplification). In any case, as you work on it I look forward to more CTC5 discussions! Cheers, Terry Last edited by Penthode; 09-06-2014 at 07:09 AM.

Well, since I REALLY wanted the guy to hang on to the set and give it some legitimacy, I paid him $100 for it.
Still a bargain

As soon as I saw Binghamton I figured this had you written all over it, Tim. Very nice cabinetry. Hopefully the fact that they plugged it in didn't burn out anything hard to replace.
