Pete-

If I can help you with the site restoration by recovering and/or mapping/cataloging the still-available content from archive.org or other actions, please let me know.

Have emailed you both the CTC2 (updated June 2011) and CTC2B (updated April 2011) htm files.

Can't remember if I asked or not: was my 2B added to the list? I assumed it was already on there, since it had been in a previous collection and was known.

Pete's serial numbers are now at this page:

Wait: there's only 16? I thought there were a lot more than that, ETF alone says they have 3. Add that to the private collectors who have 15, that makes 18. Unless I don't understand how the list works, I'm just kinda going by what info is out there right now.

I added my set into the list, in bold.

[ChrisW6ATV]

Not every set has its serial number available for the lists. Thank you Pete and Steve for making this information available.

Does anyone know how to get in touch with Pete Deksnis? I have what I think might be great news for him about THE SET CT-100 website that disappeared in 2010. I gather from posts on this website that he was trying to put "THE SET" site back up, but didn't have a backup when AT&T took it down.

So happens that I fully mirrored his website back on 4/1/09 (the copy runs on my local machine in a browser just like the online site). I often do this for technical websites that I really like, as all too often they disappear from the web forever. I'd be happy to send Pete a CD of his website (html files, pictures, attachments, and all), so collectors could once again benefit from this wonderful CT-100 resource.

I won't send out copies to anyone else, not without Pete's written permission, for obvious copyright reasons, so please don't even ask. Please forward my email address to him or let me know how to get in touch with him as the email address I have for him is no longer good. My addr is: k6adtom at hotmail dot com. It would be really great to have THE SET CT-100 site up and running on the web again. Tom

Wow, this is great news! PM sent.

[mpatoray]

That is some great news! Heres to hoping that maybe it can get back online in a suitable location and might possible be expanded on with new info.

[Pete Deksnis]

Well this really, really made my day! [Never used the banana before.]

Thanks Tom. Email sent.

Pete

Nick, thanks for putting me in touch with Pete. We're exchanged emails and I'm going to forward the complete site to him (last mirrored on 4-1-09).

When his site disappeared, I emailed him a couple of times but never got a response (I guess AT&T cut off his email address, too). I tried Googling for THE SET over the years, but never got anything that way either. I figured Pete lost interest or something. Then yesterday, I happened to see his full name on the ETF site (my mirrored copy of the THE SET didn’t list his last name on any of the pages—just “Pete” and the non-working email address—so I had little to go on). So yesterday, with his last name finally in hand, Google led me to the VideoKarma site. It was then I saw the posts about him losing the site. I had no idea he was trying to resurrect THE SET all these years. Sorry I didn’t come across this sooner. But I guess better late than never, as they say.

Pete tells me that he plans to resurrect the site. I do hope he will endeavor to make it an active CT-100 "meeting place" again. That was the really neat thing about his site - it wasn't static like so many of the other TV sites (and that's why I mirrored it). It was kind of a combo informational site and forum. There was frequently new stuff that appeared and he often shared other people's emails and posts and pictures, kept the community appraised of developments. He really did a fantastic job. I'm hoping Pete still has the enthusiasm to bring this alive and make that CT-100 "meeting place" happen yet again.

Great news Pete’s “The Set” will be reconstructed. It was the first to recognize my 21CT55 as operational and join the Living List. Since it has no cabinet, I request its chassis SN be described as “Experimental” which is its present and future status. Thanks……Tom
