Another CTC Surfaces In WI

My son and I carried this one up out of a couple’s basement late Saturday afternoon… my back is still hurting. If there's a next one, the chassis is going to come out first.

I can't quite make out the chassis number.
According to SAM'S, it's a CTC-10-C. Apparently it was made the same year as the CTC-11 we found two weeks ago.

A peek inside. The CRT tested good. I'm delighted that this one has the separate safety glass.

What year was that made in? Nice quad speaker setup, should sound nice once you get it going.

I'm not sure of the year. SAM'S is dated 2-61.

It has a trio of speakers, one oval woofer and left-right tweeties.

Cabinet is Maple, I think Early American style. Not my favorite, but it is pretty.

Wow! That is one beautiful CTC-10! PLEASE, let me know asap IF you ever decide to sell it. A 10 is on my must have list. I'm trying to obtain at least one excellent example of each chassis up to CTC-16. No pressure though, just sayin'.

Nice set Kevin! I have the exact same CTC10 cabinet style, but I have a remote controll version.

How and where did you find this set? Was it a cragislist? Just curious.

Kevin,nice set though I'm not a fan of the early American style either.
That color emblem is interesting,can you post a close up of it?

Is it lenticular to give the illusion of changing colors when you move toward it?,I had a RCA tabletop that did that.

First, we sneak into peoples homes disguised as furniture delivery guys, and then we offer to take dangerous old electronic stuff that normally requires harzardus recycling fee's. Well, the first part is sorta true, we do deliver furniture into peoples homes.

Yep, it does that. Will try to take a closeup later.

Zounds, there's hardly even dust inside. Nice score, and this one should be a piece of cake after you finish the CTC -11.

Thanks to everyone for the positive comments, I'm enjoying showing it off, even though the cabinet is not exactly my flavor.

I hope my sarcastic sense of humor doesn't rub anyone the wrong way... I'm not really a mean guy that steals peoples old TV's.

Here are some pictures of that Color emblem. It doesn't like being photographed up close, the colors glow better from a distance.
