If I were you I would go snag that color roundie. You really do not see alot of mini-consoles in that condition. If I were living in sherman oaks it would be roadtrip time.

I think it is a CTC-16
from the '65 model year.
I think it is a rare one because of that large tuner knob which has the #'s illuminated in the black part of the knob.

What's up with that UHF (???) dial above the channel knob? Never seen an RCA color set with that; only B&W. It looks like it could be a Bradford to me in one way, but then again, the square bezel with the 4 controls looks pure RCA... Bradford had a near-identical clone of a 16 but no New Vista tuner.

The ad (now deleted) did say it was an RCA. I thought ctc-20 because I've only seen that arrangement of the 4 controls in a square under the tuner like that on the ctc-20, and the ctc-19 which is rectangular. All the 16s I've seen have the controls laid out like the one in jpdylon's avatar up above. But then I've only seen a few and I've never seen a set with the tuner controls like that before, so I don't really know.

The CTC-20 I have, has the exact same control layout as the later CTC-16's, a regular sized single tuning knob with UHF tuning on the VHF fine tuning knob and a rotary dial readout in a single small window and the volume, brightness, color and tint controls in the pattern like on the set in question.
THe CTC-22 portable did have the slide rule UHF dial but I don't think any RCA console did...this may be a very close copy of a CTC-20.

I think that is a remote control set. It has all the same knobs and trim as my CTC 11 remote set. The gold trim below the CRT is the receiver for the remote. Worth getting if it is a remote set.

I am being nice.
I know the way to San Fransisco and I would love to have that very rare RCA.
I'm just not completely sure of the way to San Jose.

That '64 RCA in the beginning of this thread has
a rare style tuner knob that has a large black area with the numbers in it instead of what you usually see where the numbers appear in the window above the knob.
I heard that style was not sold by dealers but rather through discount stores or department stores like Burdines. I guess the big black knob style was not seen as fancy as the one with the channel window and so the actual RCA dealers got the "better" sets to sell.
