It was an RCA upright roundy newer than CTC-5. You had it in your back room back around when you got the prototype color CRT working (I think it was actually the visit before that).
And no I'm not interested in buying another set right now.

I might be confused, but I think the right answer is: yes, this is that set. Used to have the Philco hybrid metal tabletop sitting on top of it.

And finally, the best shot I could get with my camera acting up (sorry no Oz):

Fantastic job I hope to move up to color someday
It can be tough to get both a good shot of the cabinet and picture. I haven't tried it, but I think others have carefully altered the lighting so the cabinet looks good and taken a shot. Then, altered the light so the picture looks good, and photo-shopped them together. |

That might work, I have Gimp so I'll give that a shot.

With the camera on a tripod, turn the TV off to take the "good cabinet" photo in normal room lighting. Then turn on the TV (and turn down the room lights if that helps) and take the "good screen" photo. If you didn't jiggle the camera between shots, then you just copy and paste the screen from the good-screen photo into the good-cabinet photo.
I have done this on occasion when, after dozens of attempts, I couldn't get a screen shot that did justice to a particular TV. My camera nearly always turns a B/W screen blue, so sometimes I capture the screen and grayscale it, then paste it back into the same photo. The difficult part for me is selecting the screen borders so that they smoothly fit into the bezel on the second photo. Different cameras with different settings may give very divergent results. Some day I'll quit being stubborn and replace my ancient digital camera with one that can take a good screen shot that doesn't need post processing.

Wow the cabinet now looks so good that the set is as good as coming fresh from the factory, perhaps even better!!! Excellent work there on rebuilding the cabinet!

OK, first attempt at using Gimp so be gentle!
Copied color bars from darkened shot, pasted into bright cabinet shot (used the flash).

Nick,
The set looks great, looks like thats what I am going to have to attempt on the Philco with its damage photo finish. The colors in the bars look good almost too good, you might be able to make someone think it's HD Matt |

Nope, just a lowly 21CYP22. Only thing I touched up was the glare reflection in the screen, I didn't correct the colors at all.
