I got a email from a friend who had a aunt that had some empty TV cabinets. Her husband who passed away had gutted them a long time ago she said. They were stored in a nice dry basement and I went and got this 1967 RCA combo cabinet in very good condition. A friend already gave me the record changer and a friend in Georgia has the correct radio and record holder for it and I am put my ctc 28 TV in it cause I like this cabinet better than the one it was in. I am still waiting for the radio to be shipped from my friend.

Very nice!

Thank you for the pictures and information.

Your post made me smile! What a great combo you now have. Congratulations, and best of luck. Please post pics of the finished set. :yes:

Wow that set is throwing a damn nice pix.
Makes me think back to 1970 & my first days at the
bench fixin sets like that & seeing them look real good.
Nice work......

Nice! I would have done that if I had gotten my Silvertone metal table set before I found a console of that brand that had the TV section 'upgraded'....

VERY COOL ! Are those 15" speakers....? I bet that will sound pretty good ! ! !

They are actually 12" but I am hoping for some nice sound.

They look really big ! A friend of mine had one of those giant combo units when I was
a really little kid, and we cranked it up a little when no one was around............

IT SOUNDED GREAT ! ! ! and by GREAT I really mean LOUD !

Hope yours sounds as good as I remember ! !

Maybe you can post a facial expression ! :music:

That's a really nice combination cabinet, and a super RCA color picture! Congrats.

Nice combo and the CTC28 was one of the better ones IIRC, except for the flyback issues typical of RCA.

The amp and speakers should sound excellent with some electrolytic replacements, there are many 1mf to 5mf coupling caps that are usually bad.

How is the record changer? reason I ask: I just restored one, the motor mount grommets (3) and control rod grommets (2 pair), caused several issues. These are available from Gary at VoiceofMusic Audio Enthusiasts.

Really nice! This made me think of the set my family had back in 1967. Unfortunately that one got away.

Very nice. I love combo units!

Thanks Guys! Best I can tell it looks fine but I have not got to use it yet since I do not have the radio yet but I will post when I get it all installed and up and going.

Got the radio today from my friend in Georgia who is very awesome and it sounds great. I got a needle on ebay and the record player I got from Dan who is also awesome works very well it changes records as it should and has good sound. I have been looking for the rite combo for my collection for years and seen several but none had the cabinet I wanted. This one had to be put back together but it was worth the wait. :banana:

It looks really nice! More pics?!

Fantastic job!

I love combos - this brings back memories of my parent's Zenith- 1966 or 67 when my dad bought it, but it was walnut and more Danish modern. I hope to acquire a combo oneday, thanks for sharing and congrats!

Now you're hooked. Combo entertainment sets are like Lays Potato Chips. You can't have just one.

It's a very nice looking set and worthy of preserving. You did a great job.
