Too bad the guy has an attitude, but if the CRT is good, the set is worth $4k. The cabinet could be refinished relatively inexpensively.

I know that, sometimes, we do go too far here. I say "we" because each of us has the ability to cry "foul" when things get out of line.

In the case of this set, I do not think we did so at all. The bottom line is that this set is going to need thousands of dollars worth of work to be made presentable/operational. How much do you suppose it would cost to get RACS to rebuild another 15GP22, including roundtrip shipping?

Every CT100 is special and should be saved...but the real money in these sets is in working picture tubes, plain and simple. What I see here is close to a basket case, one of the roughest CT100s that has come up for sale. It is still worth hundreds...but in my mind, not thousands.

Question

Was it ever resolved whether this has a 2B chassis or not?

In one picture in the referenced thread, the chassis looks just like my CTC-2.

Chuck Pharis once posted a picture of a CT-100 with a model 21-CT-55 (2B) chassis, and the HV cage looks quite different:

I think the pictures of the Getter tell the story.

Looks like he has a buyer all lined up to take it off his hands.

I seem to remember a Swiss museum asking about shipping in another recent CT-100 auction. Wonder where it is? I saw a few radios & TVs in the Bern communications museum, but I believe they were all European, like this Lorenz Autophon.

My first thought would be scam. I can't imagine a museum buying a CT-100 in that condition when there so many nice ones around.

Me too. I see questions to sellers like this fairly regularly. Usually from South America and Europe asking if they seller would be willing to ship the item overseas. Often the seller replies yes, but no bid is ever placed.

This latest batch of pictures tell the following stories:

[1] This is a factory original CT-100 as indicated by '805' in each of the three cabinet parts: the front control cover, the cabinet, and the lid.
[2] This is a CTC2 and not a CTC2B. To identify a CTC2, start with the power transformer and move across the chassis to the HV cage. A CTC2 has a gray potted transformer extending from the cage (the vertical convergence transformer, a source of headaches to many operational CT-100 caretakers). A CTC2B does not use the same part, and the cage itself is larger.
[3] The channel indicator, if it exists at all (the pictures are mostly soft) is suspect. Unfortunately, it is quite common to have a channel indicator loose its CT-100.
[4] The spring return on the pencil box is sprung.
[5] The CRT is toast according to the photographs. I see a getter. I see no getter flash. There is a soft, brownish splotch where a getter flash might be, and in one picture there is a black-like splotch on the top of one of the three neck images. The same spot is not black in the other two images. So, because the photographs suck, let's assign a 20-percent chance that the tube is good. Plus, I've gotta ask, who went to see the set? What did the CRT look like? Did I miss a post?

This is a $2000 set at this point.

Pete

It seems like anyone selling the CT100 and has any knowledge of it's history thinks they have an instant gold mine, but just like anything else you have to consider it's condition and the probability of having a bad Crt, and we all know what the odds are of having one successfully rebuilt. I find that as time goes on I hang on to everything because parts that were once considered common are now starting to become harder and harder to find. All I can say is Caveat emptor.

Now that it is probable that RACS can rebuild 15GP22s, it is easier to value these sets. Assume that a rebuild will cost about $1000, and shipping around $400 both ways. So the difference between a set with a good and bad CRT should be about $1500.
