Still 4 days left and it's climbing in price already...

Same as the one on my CTC-11 too. Makes me glad I have mine - I don't think I paid that much for the whole set!

My ctc-10 has the original remote, but I bought a spare thinking I would need parts because one of the buttons was broken in the middle, and there was some corrosion where the original battery was still in it. But I was able to repair the original, so now I have two.

Does one need a CDRH permit to operate this thing?

No, you just have to be extremely careful to not remove the screen. Let that screen fall off or deteriorate, and you have World War 3 on your hands. :)

Ended at $86. How common are the sets with remote, anyway? I somehow ended up with two CTC-11s and neither has remote control.

Just curious.

There seem to be fewer remote RCAs than Zeniths. I've seen a few remote RCAs ctc-10 and up. I've never seen a remote ctc-9, but there was one of those remote ctc-7s on ebay a few years ago. The advertisement for the remote ctc-7 is here on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NF2Xp3P6-m0 The remote for the 7 actually controls more than the one on the 10, it looks like the 7 is all push button controls on the set too, the remote ctc-10 just has power tuning.

Another one:

Looks like my CTC-11's
