Question regarding the CTC-7...

[Joel Cairo]

I have a brochure that shows the new 1957 RCA Victor Television Models, and I notice that for "The Anderson" and a couple of others, the features include an "...illuminated "front window"" and a "...lighted hidden panel".

Really...?

Did these models light up like a Sylvania Halo Light? I don't think I've ever heard **anyone** talk about any illumination in these sets.

The front window refers to the channel indicator, I'm not sure what the hidden panel is unless it's the control door on the side.

Here's my "Anderson" http://www.vintagetvsets.com/ctc7.htm

The door on the side was lighted and the channel selector window was lighted from behind.

Thanks, guys-- makes much more sense now.
