I did not have a CTC 10 and just got a good deal on Ebay. $45.00!!!! It had 548 views and I was the only bidder. I know some of you here would have wanted the set. Thanks for letting me win.:banana::banana::banana: I fully expected the shark bid at the end but it did not come. It is a really nice set and I am again happy to have it. I now have RCA roundies CTC5, CTC7, CTC9, CTC10, CTC11, CTC15, CTC16.

Congratulations on your big win. I am sooo jealous!:yes:

I was one of those who was watching that set. I am really glad it is going to a fellow AK'er who will cherish her.

That is fantastic that you have a such a roundie collections. Kudos to you!:thmbsp:

I saw that set early on and was going to post, but since I saw the low opening bid and your ID under it, I figured I'd keep it on the DL. Glad you snagged at such a good price.

Hey Rich,

Congratulations on the latest addition to your RCA roundie color collection.

I like the Danish modern cabinet. It seems that most sets of that age have pretty ugly cabinets.

AHA! - the three point oxymoronic beauty scale - is it pretty :thmbsp:, is it ugly :thumbsdn:, or is it pretty ugly :scratch2: ?

I actually prefer a vertical set to a horizontal set. The televisions just kept on getting wider and wider and kept the same height. You can have more of the vertical TV sets. They do not take up much floor space!:D

weanted that roundie myself,but atlanta was a little too far to travel to.
Anyone know of any roundies in central fla?
Congratulations on your "new" television!

Hi Polaraman!

That set is identical to my CTC-10! I have no idea of the model number for mine as the original back is long gone. Whats the model # of your set, if you dont mind?

Mine is slowly getting new filters everywhere. B+ increased almost 70 volts after replacing the large caps in the power supply... had to turn everything down, basically!

Can't wait to see pics of it working, displaying that glorious "lollipop color"...<grin>

Model 211CD896

Restoration will have to wait for now. I'm retiring from the Army in December. I have to be out of my current house at the end of November. I will be returning back to my house in San Antonio.

polaraman

Pity those moving men! Will the Army pay for the shipping?

I am only allowed 10,500 pounds. 90% of the TV moving is at my expense.

polaraman

Rich, that is one awesome looking set! Can't wait to see it working again!

I can't stand fake drawers!

Too bad you can't open the drawers to access the chassis, tubes and caps :D
There was Quasar, "works in a drawer". Did they make consoles with fake drawers? :D

Welcome to AK!

I thought about bidding on that set, too. Atlanta's not a problem, my in-laws live there, but that set is too big to even fit in the trunk of my wife's Town Car. If it had been a table model...

Regarding roundies in central FL, it would be a major thrill to find any here. It seems much of the Orlando area was built up post-Disney, so
few of the houses are old enough to contain roundies or other tube-type electronics. The old folks left their old broken TVs in their basements up north when they moved to FL.
