Blonde CTC-4 on eBay

RCA 21" Round Color TV CTC-4 Blonde 1955

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...&category=3638

How rare is this, a BLONDE CTC-4? Amazing, it doesn't work but someone has bid his opening price of $499!

I thought the CT-100 was the Holy Grail.

I think any pre 1960 color set is "holy grail" to most. At least there would be a chance for this CTC4 to work. With the CTC100, the price is "thru the roof", altho 99% of the time it's not going to work because of that crappy picture tube. (gives a good picture when you get to see one, but how many working tubes are out there? less then a dozen??)

I actually owned the parts set that helped to create that very set. I know this seller from Rochester AWA meets, he's a heck of a guy.

Sold my really really rough 4 for $450 back about 4 years ago, it had a good picture tube too.
