Had a neighbor once with that EXACT model in clean condition. A true beauty. :p
In '79, I did the usual tube tests-replaced any weak or shorted, record changer clean/lube, pots-switch-tuner cleanings, filament wires to 6GU7s and the solder connections and she used it for 4-5 years. I was so thrilled to see a roundy be a daily driver, so I did the full razzle-dazzle on it. IIRC she put more hours on the HiFi than TV. It was a CTC15

At her funeral last year I asked her daughter what became of it....no luck...gone

Always more room for a cherry piece like that, Really hope you get it Steve!

No mts stereo today either. Now that analog TV broadcasting no longer exists. (except for a few LP stations?)

It's a ctc-16, easy to work on. Pretty reliable as long as the fly is good. Can you get a pic of that fly?

Except for the necked tube, the set looks like it's in pretty good shape. Great score!

Fly looks pretty good. doesn't look like a 16 fly. Can you read the ctc # on the back?

what's the story on a ctc15? Good chassis if your flyback is ok? I'm going to recap it. what should i be looking for?

It's just that flybacks are hard(but not impossible) to get so having a good one is a benefit. The chassis itself is pretty decent. I would wait until you have a pic tube and see if at least you can get a raster before you spend a bunch of time and money on it

well the picture tube arrived today, have been battling bronchitis and the flu for almost the last three weeks, so have not been doing much of anything other than resting. I think i'm starting to turn the corner. Hopefully by next week, i'll feel well enough to jump back on these sets.
