If I didn't already have a ctc5, I would probably have done the exact same thing,
you still got a good deal..... A few extra dollars is always a good motivator..... .

Good set for someone who said he got out of tube color. All you needed was one that's good enough to bring you around again.
I would have done the same (if able to) for a well-kept example of a set that I wanted. |

I think that's the nicest looking cabinet that's ever contained a color TV.

Tim,
Congratulations! That's a neat set! I had a CTC-5 Arliss many years ago when I was very young and first got into collecting vintage color TVs. The cabinet needed help, the back was missing, and the CRT had been necked. I loved that set though. It was the first set that, even though it didn't work, really brought the excitement of early color TV to life for me. Got rid of it many years ago, sadly. Yours is the only other one I've seen listed in all this time. Keep us posted as you work on it. Great find! Gilbert

I'm more interested in the color roundie sets that are 1959 and up.. But this one surly takes the cake... I absolutely LOVE this design...

Just picked it up! It's in the van, not a scratch on it! Looks mint!! It was at a nice house WAYYY in the woods among some "amazing" homes. One house was a school bus body with the back cut off, and attached to a larger version of Snoopy's doghouse with a locking door on it, I kid you not
Waiting to meet another VKer for some set swapping shortly. But the 5 is coming home with me

While we're waiting for him to come in, my wife is watching Cinderella and I admit that if I hafta sit through this whole movie I'm gonna go insane . We've got a suite at the Courtyard Marriott here, then we're gonna go to a froo froo restaurant.
And people wonder why my wife has no issues with any TVs I wanna buy . It's balance, gentlemen

Great. I was waiting to hear when you picked up the set.
I think the CTC5 deluxe is an excellent set and excellent find. Look forward to you getting it running. Cheers, Terry |

Well, I'm home now. $180 in gas and 3.5 hours each way in my big old van. Good thing I met up with another VKer to get some good stuff
The set is almost spotless inside save a light layer of dust, and has a Utah speaker in it, much to my surprise. Someone very carefully made a homemade back for this set. It was very well loved. Tested the 21AXP22. No filament light. Stone dead. Damn

I don't think that's a huge problem, a compatible CRT ought to be an easier find than the set itself.

Tim,
Congratulations. Glad it was you that scored that rare Arliss and made that listing disappear so quickly. And w/UHF as a bonus. I'm sure you'll locate a roundie tube although a good testing 21AX would be a plus. Watching PGA golf on my CTC-5 Wingate right now. -Steve D.

Ahhh HATE Yew !-Y. Sam, Esq. Seriously, GREAT score, even w/the dud CRT. I'm hoping you can "over volt" it back into life...

if all three are out, maybe try reflowing the pins, check for continiuty just in case your CRT tester is acting up as well.
