That is very possible, I would still like to get another look at the back and have them point out the model number to me.

I think if the number was there they would have provided some close up pictures of the set. There's not too many folks these days that can't snap a half ways decent close up with their phone camera.

You would think so Kevin now wouldn't you but that picture I posted was the very best one that was sent.

It is sad that some people's memory gets distorted when money is involved. I expect they were confused it with a later set the family bought in the '60s when colour arrived in Canada. It would have been a big deal and no doubt, if they had a rectangular screen colour set in Edmonton in '66, it would have been a big deal. They probably disposed of the colour set many years ago and forgot the one remaining was black and white. I picked up a CTC5 RCA in Toronto from the original family owners. It was bought in late '56 and Torontonians watch colour only from the Buffalo NY stations at that time. |

Thanks for that info Penthode, I wasn't sure when colour came to be out here and was told 1960 by a local. I couldn't argue as I did not know.
There was a CTC5 here in Edmonton, I saw it about 20 years ago but at the time had no interest in TV's. The fellow that owned it had a Radio and TV repair shop that he ran out of his house. He tried to get me to buy it but I didn't know any better at the time. He passed about 15 years ago and I have no idea what happened to the set. Gregb |
