Jordan,

Congratulations.
Nice clean looking set. And right in your own backyard.

That's a good find indeed! And rare too... That's an official CTC-12 clone, which Sears only sold a few of. It's not a Warwick, as most other Sears roundies are. I probably only ever saw 2 or 3 of them.

Grabbed it this morning. Pictures to follow soon. Its alive, but has HO size and sync problems. According to the original bill of sale the owner paid over $766 for the set and a 15 month service contract.

Unreal! That is a ton of cash for 63'

pictures as promised.

I'll need to get some contact cement to glue on the foil that has come unglued around the channel faceplate.

I may refinish just the top to see how it turns out. It has some peeling of the lacquer.

It feels good to find one of these in my neck of the woods. Hope I'll stumble upon more one day.
