Does an Ak'er own this? That's definitely a rarity. Should be in the EFT museum if they don't own one already. WOW!

$1,713.88 with 3 days left to go, still hasn't hit the reserve. I'm thinking paying off some bills or a car instead or at least a very nice plasma tv, or would that last idea be considered heracy here?

if the RCA was in proper working order with a good CRT --the color reproduction would more than likely stomp the plasma.

Wow... I know a person here in CA who just sold one this year; mint condition and was working in the past 10 years. He sold it to another collector for under $1000, after I passed on it. I didn't think they were that valuable... I've had at least 4 or 5 of them, including 3 that I got from one collector in Burbank for $100. I guess too bad I didn't keep them.

If the only manufacturer of color TV sets in the 50s was RCA, yes.
But without doublechecking I think there are more CTC2-Bs accounted for than all the remaining CBS-Columbia 15- and 19-inch production models combined. Then there's models from Westinghouse (rectangular 22"), General Electric etc. that quite literally never show up anywhere...but sure would be rare when and if they do.

The RCA Model 5 at Estes Auctions went for $10,500 a couple of months ago, and prewar black and white sets go for more than that.
