Did you ever see that Brit show "The Secret Life of Machines"? I remember the one on washing machines was very good. Still liked the one where at the end of the show the host set that whole pile of operating TVs on fire & you watched 'em slowly die in the reflection on his glasses. He had a particularly evil grin going on...-Sandy G.

And what about ice cream freezers? I used to know a guy who collects them. From 1800's hand cranked models to electric ones... Did you know there was a conversion kit to use a Sunbeam mixmaster head on hand cranked machine back in the 30s and 40s?

As for the CTC-5 Super model having an inferior color decoding, yes, it does... compared to the Deluxe. But really that's the only reason it deserves to get picked on, because it was the FIRST production chassis to use the lower-rez color decoding, and because there was also a 'deluxe' model in the same cabinet that still had the better decoding. Other than that, what's the big deal, it's the same, not-quite-as-good, non-I&Q decoding that was used for years and years on all the color sets after that. Like two twin brothers and one has a little bit bigger nose than the other, now everybody's gonna call that one "bignose"!
Plus though it seems to get singled out as a dog when in fact it used THE system that was adopted by everybody after that, so if it's a dog, so are all the other color sets and CTCs after it! And it's not like the difference is striking anyway, I bet people watching a CTC5 and a CTC4 next to each other would have a hard time distinguishing them apart if they weren't told they were different beforehand. I love mine by the way...Frenchy

IIRC, you could still buy a wringer washer new as late as 1969-70. My dad did to wash rags we used when my sister & mom would go to horse shows. took him awhile to get it-they were special order items & I think it was fairly expensive. Why they had to have a wringer to wash horse towels I don't remember, maybe they thought it would get 'em cleaner...I don't remember whatever happened to that thing...-Sandy G.

Nice find! RCA's literature on the "Super" chassis shows the blue lateral adjustment to be a coil controlled by a pot under the pencil box. Your chassis seems to have the mechanical set up like the "DELUXE" (CTC5-N) chassis. I've never seen the coil set-up on any -5 chassis. Has anyone else? I know the first thing I would change is that HV regulator tube. I'm surprised (as black as that thing is) that it hasn't cracked yet. Phil
