This one's less than an hour from me. I MUST OWN IT!

(even though I can't afford it right now ;) )

That set is gorgeous! I wonder if they'll include that happenin' rug with the TV?! :D

Hey Kamakiri,

I'll buy the CTC-16 from you if it's still for sale That'll give you more funds to go after the CTC-5. Let me know

Can't....Doug's got dibs on that one.

Although I have been wondering if I really feel like putting all that work into my basket case CT100 ;)

I'm gonna end up with that 5, unless somebody's got pretty deep pockets ;)

Tim,
By all means go for it, if you can. That is a beautiful "Lockhaven" Super model. Everytime that seller says he wants to gut the chassis, I get a pain in my gut.
SAVE THAT SET!

Crap Tim! That is not fair. I was really hoping to see you get that beauty. I sure would have bid on it if you hadn't put your dibs on it!

Sorry Tim,

It does seem to me that this Rochester CTC-5 or its exact twin were offered on e-bay out of Philadelphia a couple of weeks ago. Item #: 3269908259. The reserve was not met at that time.:dunno: Check it out.

Can't win em all......there will be another sometime.

I just wanted to apologize to anyone who was disappointed or frustrated when I ended the auction early. I have had this happen to me, usually with vintage cars that I have lost my heart to, so I understand how you may feel. I had never ended an auction early before. In this case I believe I made a reasonable deal with a truly nice guy who will take good care of the set and the timing was right for him to pick it up so I didn't see the point of waiting it out.

I appreciate the interest in the set and enjoyed the education I got. Maybe now I won't be so afraid of vacuum tubes.

Pity, I was going to go as high as $800, and I'm local. Hope you got good coin.
