Elvis has a roundy
Looking into the living room at Graceland Mansion the late home of Elvis is a blonde I believe is a ctc-7. Possibly a 21cd888-7. This set is the most perfect looking television as far as cabinet and presentation. No it was not displaying a picture. It is in a room with a grand piano in dark wood. The stand out blonde RCA color set must have been a favorite for the king to look at.

It's a CTC-5, possibly used to watch Snooky Lanson doing Hound Dog on Your Hit Parade

I notice this one is missing the "COLOR" decal from the safety glass. I had heard the set that got shot was a CTC-31 but who knows?

One of those guys that hung with Elvis says that the TV shooting thing just got to be a joke with Elvis, he was never angry when he did it, just a fun luvin' guy.
Gave the impression that Elvis killed MANY a TV set, even in hotels, not just one.

I believe Elvis bought that set when he bought his first house.
I have seen photos of his first house and that very set was in the living room. When he bought Graceland a year or so later he moved it, after all it was still fairly new. Elvis also had a RCA 2000 in his bedroom . |

I have read more than once that Elvis shot an RCA 2000 during a Robert Goulet broadcast. Of course, repeating a story doesn't necessarily make it true :-)

Gee, you'd think Elvis would have been given a "DELUXE" model, instead of a "SUPER". Maybe RCA was too cheap to part with the better TV. After all, he made millions for RCA's record division.

Some of them did, some of them didn't. I don't know why; perhaps it was a mid-production change.

Thats my favorite CTC-31. Wheres the remote control? Funny how a gun shot TV survived after all these years just because elvis owned it.
As for the 5, I have the exact same model and it does have "COLOR" on the glass.

I'm sorry, but I never thought the sun rose & set in Elvis' rear end like a lot of folks do, but I'd grow some muttonchops & pour half a can of 10W-30 on my hair to get a blonde 5 like that one...Ooooh, bay-bee !
