All it takes is one person with money then we are the idiots. $1500 is nothing to someone decorating a 'retro' room in their mansion for a functional period piece.

I'm not sure if $1000 would seperate me from my CTC-5. I like it! So, maybe he really likes these sets.

I paid $35 for my CT-5. For 1K, I don't think so. Nobody wanted any of the sets Damen and I bought. They all would of ended up in the landfill.
BTW, the CRT is original. Dated 1956 and is the ALL glass type and is good.

All CRT's have a glass front, but if yours is original it's a 21AXP22 with the metal funnel. I don't think the all glass ones (beginning with 21CYP22) came out till 1957, that's what my CTC-7 has.

I know crt's have a glass front unless they are made from a clear metal nobody knows about. I looked this set over very well. The CRT is all glass but is dated nov 56. maybe it was replaced early on or is a very late production set. I could not find the tube number yet. It's mounted exactly like my 59 ctc-9 not like others I've seen with the glass/metal crt. Hey I could be wrong. Look at the pics and you tell me.

The CRT appears to be a 21CYP22 because of the striping on the glass bell. Bet it has the dual anode button under that shield connected by a 2-watt resistor and spring.

That ad has been up for a while now, at least a month. You'd think if you were trying to make a couple thousand dollars you could be bothered to take a photograph.

The CTC-5 in the photo, with the 21CYP22 includes RCA's glass to metal conversion kit which included (among other things) a later style yoke cover to secure the yoke to the tube's neck. The 21CYP22's date code is an indicator that that CRT started life as a factory installed CRT in some RCA chassis, probably an early CTC-7. In the 55 years since its 1956 date code, who knows where it's been?

The funny thing is it has the serial number sticker on the crt that matches the tv serial number. It the crt was replaced they would not more than likely of transferred it over to the new crt. The HOT is dated late 1956 also, I read that a lot of the CTC-5's sold well into 1957 as left over 56 models. The cabinet model is definitely 1956 but maybe this was built in 1957. Who knows. This may just an oddball set thrown together with the parts they had including the new 21cyp22 that was out in the CTC-7 or it was a replacement very very early on still under warranty. It does not make much difference to me as long as I get it to work. We will never know the truth about this set
