From the description, you'd be hard-put to find a better example of that TV (if you could find one for sale at all!). While a resto job would be more "fun", I'd rather have one done by a genuine RCA guy like that. It will be interesting to see what it goes for.

He mentioned the serial numbers:

Quote:
Model: CT-100

Chassis: CTC-2

Chassis Serial # B8001121

Cabinet/Lid Serial # 827

CRT Serial # IL6485 Date Code: 4-30 (The 30th week of 1954)
Hopefully the new owner can be listed in the CT100 database.

For THAT kind of moolah, I think I'd insist on a personal demonstration..No disrespect to the seller, but what did Reagan always say, "Trust, but Verify" ?

Hi Kirk: I am relieved that #827 has been liberated from "you know where". I feared for its safety. Did you find the cheater cord that was hidden in the 1KW AM transmitter?
BTW, I bought a 19" jig and may ask for your help to make a 90 degree to 70 degree yoke adapter.
The 4 still looks very good, but does need a thorough chroma alignment.
Hope you summer is going great!
See you soon.
Kevin

This CT 100 sounds like it has a good story behind it, I'd like to hear it.

Yeah, this is going to be very interesting. What a set!!! Let's see, refinance house, sell a couple cars, cash in insurance policies, have the Mrs. get an evening job, then maybe I could afford it.
