Hello Steve awesome TV! does it have a CTC-16 or the CTC20 chassis? Always good to find another LA area collector! I got some working pics of the Packard Bell, and of the CTC-12, will post them this weekend. Tony, if you are looking for the Schematic, it is SAMS 640-3 I think. I got one, if you want, I can photocopy it for you. Also, if anyone needs flybacks in the future, I got close to several hundred from the 1940's, to early 1970's, and yes, I do have the 112820 for the CTC-12, if you ever need it again! :-) I like your CTC-12!, Nice Combo!-Robert

Tony V...
That RCA is really cool! The cabinet kinda reminds me of my Curtis Mathes roundie... but yours has more elegance than mine.

Tony V,
Thanx for posting the picture of that really unique and distinctive CTC-12 combo. I'd never seen one. |

Charlie,
I was thinking the same thing the first time you posted your Curtis Mathis. The thing i like about yours is the fact that everything on yours is accessed from the front so no need to move anything on top when you want to play the stereo. Yours might be a tiny bit plainer than mine but still is a nice set to say the least. It isnt that often you stumble across a roundie Curtis Mathes either especially a combo which makes it even more special. BTW: I have the wooden version of the Sentenel you have sitting beside your Curtis Mathes. Mine was a pain to restore but is a fun little set once working properly. I was amazed that for such an early set that mine doesnt produce the infamous retrace line problem like some of the later sets had. It picks up well on antenna also. Tony |

That's interesting. It must be a late model offering in the 16 series since it shares almost the same faceplate and knob setup of the CTC-20 I have. I have a set with the control panel like yours that is the last one I brought home and haven't had the back off. I was not sure what it was because of the slight difference to the CTC-20 but I realize now it is the same as yours. Thanx for clearing that up. You set does look showroom new! |

Steve! The two sets are practically identical! I noticed on mine when I took the back off, you can see some tiny indentations on the bottom of the cabinet for what appears to me that were supposed to be drilled for a CTC-16, but never actually were! Wierd! Ilike the Danish moderne look, maybe it WAS popular in LA.............-Robert

Just got this note from AK Forum member Steve D.:
Hey Hoffy, Lunch sounds like a plan. I know Steve K. would be up for it, he's normally off a couple of days during the week. But a weekend day might be better for the majority. I'm free most days. Ed R. might be tougher to pin down. But lets try for it in the next couple of weeks. Be fun to meet Rob the newbie. Best, Steve

Steve K. as in Kissinger? I think I met him once, sold him a TV. During the weekend would be better, since I work far from LA during the week!-Robert

Steve:
No problem, I have been quite busy myself. I am starting to tackle two Chromacolor hybrid portables I bought from Doug Harland. They got here in good shape, except one had a 6LF6 that got dislodged from its socket and broke inside the TV, it wish it could have been a a cheaper tube that broke! Oh well, I got a bunch of those tubes anyways. I also have a 23DC14 Chromacolor hybrid console in my living room, that thing plays awesome, it looks almost brand new, has a razor sharp picture. Best $20 I ever spent! (for the console!)-Robert Last edited by Rob66; 01-21-2004 at 02:58 AM. |
