Rca id?

This set is among others in my future BIL's mother's house. The others are relatively recent recycle fodder...but I told him I'd try to find more on this RCA.

Looks like either a CTC16X or a CTC20.
That is the shaggiest, shag carpeting I ever seen.

Thumbs up

Think of all the spare change that could be hidden there!

Seems you'd need the appropriate 70's Kirby to clean carpet like that. The attachement on the front is called the Shag King. I have this machine in my collection restored.

Any further speculation as to the model? It's eventually going to end up in the classifieds here on VK.

Depending on price, CRT condition, and where in Mn your located I'd potentially be a buyer for that.

I wonder if the CRT having a cataract might affect the price? Considering it is a pain in the butt to remove a cataract.

I had one in High School, it was a model GG643, and its a CTC16X as TUD says.
When set up, these produce excellent pictures.

Set's in Dubuque, IA & WISCOJIM is making arrangements for pickup. Thanks to all who are interested, and if Jim doesn't take it (doubtful...but ya never know) I think Electronic M is next up.

CTC-16X, 1966 or so. These are good sets.
