Very nice clean cabinet. Too bad the chassis is missing, it was a Deluxe chassis.

Very nice, I am glad it was saved and will become a complete TV again.

I don't think there was a 'cheap' version of the CTC-4 like there was with the othe later models, they were all Deluxe.

I would certainly agree (for what its worth!) that it is great that this cabinet did not get smashed up in a dump. As we all grow older, time marches on and slowly these treasures (to us) will disappear. I feel lucky to have gotten a CTC-9C for $50 and it at least now has a raster. Don't have time to work on it right now because I am moving from Maryland to Florida this fall.
Bravo! |

right, just one chassis, but a number of circuit updates were suggested and published in later service data. Unique RCA chassis design.

Bob,
Great that you were able to secure that cabinet. And, while that CTC-4 "Cheltenham" model is a rare find, you have the extremely rare birch finish cabinet to boot. The majority were in mahogany. -Steve D.

It almost looks like there are remnants of a Blonde finish in the door hinge area. Or maybe that’s just the way the light is reflecting off it. In any event I love the current finish of that cabinet.

That is a beautiful cabinet, I wonder if it was stripped for a Fishtank or Liquor Cabinet project?
A TV serviceperson wouldn't have removed the mask and glass just to work on it. |

Bob even speculated that perhaps the shop that had it removed the guts so they could sell just the bare cabinet...

This IS common practice to scrap innards to make a console cabinet for flat screen. Does anyone have the burl type door cabinet of the ctc4, any survivors??

Here is my mahogany Cheltenham. Like many of RCA's cabinets, the book-matched doors are a faux finish. Fortunately, mine is in good condition. The birch version Bob has is extremely handsome. Hard to decide which version I like better, but I am lucky to have the one I do.
