It's amazing where things can end up. I own a 1962 Corvair, and i know that they have turned up as far away as the Ukraine, Iraq, and Australia.

I know of VW Beetles on some very unlikely places to find such a car, such as Afghanistan and Japan.

I have seen a 1958 Ford on a vacation in the United Kingdom, a 1957 Chevy and a Caddy on a vacation in Israel and a 1953 Ford on a vacation to Cancun Mexico. I know a person who left a Pontiac Fiero in Ireland when moving back to the US. American cars turn up in odd places.
(As an interesting side, I visited China for work a couple of years ago and saw ads for a Ford Maverick-an SUV there, not the economy car of 30 years ago here.) |

So, this is not the first known 15GP22 based TV with a PAL oscillator in it?
I am sorry for this, but you got a very beautiful and intresting TV anyhow! D:

For the best of my knowledge, this TV is a 100% original in it's American specifications, hadn't suffered a single adaptation since it was bought. When it received color signals, please note, it was in 1963, when experimental NTSC color broadcasts were made here. By 1970 - when they were already preparing to adopt PAL-M - the CT-100 was already retired, due to vertical failure. It never witnessed PAL-M color... so far.

...this attachement! I have not ate the sardines, that circuit is NOT tested and i do NOT advise anyone to test it, however i was thinking of a circuit like it. I am happy because you has now a genuine CT - 100, of course...

That is a very curious device!!!
UNFORTUNATELY, that CT-100 is not mine, is from some guy that I don't even know in person. I still didn't managed ( financially speaking ) to put my hands in the very commom Brazilian Philco Predicta... just imagine a CT-100!!! It is COMPLETELY out of my reach. |

Was the "color - killer" working when that set showed a "colored snow"?

FYI:
Back in March 2008, the CT-100 identified as the 130th known set was assigned to B8001132 since open questions about this set, B8001150, were unresolved. This set is not yet officially on the Living List of CT-100's. Pete |

Unfortunately, I have been completely unable to get closer to this precious set. The owner is, well, kind of a difficult person, he is not someone willing to let a complete stranger get inside his house and take pictures of his CT-100.
I would LOVE to see this TV in person ( I have never seen a CT-100 in person ), but for that I would need the goodwill of the owner, and all my contacts with him regarding this matter were frustrating. Oh well. I can only hope that, with the increased interest that vintage TVs are receiving here in this country, that someday he decides to come public with his ultra-rare possesion, and share it with the TV collector community. |

Interesting story...I had never seen this thread, glad it popped back to the top!
"My grandfather ( who is still alive ) was in the USA in 1954, and saw the Rose Parade in a CT-100 in a hotel...." Were many of these sets (I assume the earlier "model 5") set up in hotels for the Rose Parade demo? Is there a list of the chosen demo sites posted somewhere? just curious, jr |
