'66 rca
 

I'm having a difficult time getting any info on my new acquisition, a 1966 RCA color set, model GH 759 F. Any info on this set would be appreciated. Google had nothing. Its a french provincial style cabinet. The lady I bought it from is 93yrs old and took very good care of it. The crt was replaced in the 80s and the cabinet is in beautiful shape.

This maybe a CTC-25
 

This maybe an RCA Victor CTC-25 chassis 23 inch color TV. 23 inch non-black matrix CRT.

Dropping the last letter from the model number, came up with SAMS #879-3 which also is the set and folder number for a CTC-25 chassis. All the best, Tom

I predict a mod will move this thread to rectangular screen section :smoke:

And done.

that's a nice set! Does it work?

Larry, you need a bigger house now. lol

The set has a beautiful picture!

The set has a beautiful picture. I was watching a color Ed Sullivan show last night with original commercials. It was really nice.

Your right Nick. I couldn't take up stamp or matchbook collecting! It just happened to be console tvs. Oh well.

Start stocking up on 6GH8A's.

You have Ed Sullivan in color with original commercials:-) I have a very rare Sept. 10th, 1967 Ed Sullivan show in color with all the original commercials including the cigarette commercials and the CBS Presents This Program In Color opening at the start. Red Skelton is on this show. Excellent quality:-)

There is nothing like watching a show with the original commercials on a vintage tv! It just adds something to the experience.

Could we see it?

The CTC25 wasn't that hard on 6GH8's. It wasn't a 7 6GH8 chassis like some of the others. CTC19, 20, 24, 27, 31 and CTC38/39 had between 5 and seven of them. :scratch2:

Trust me, the cell phone camera doesn't do it justice. Not even close.

The set was probably under contract with RCA Service Co.
They had the best technicians working for them. :thmbsp:

Absolutely beautiful RCA Color rendition! Congratulations! As a teenager, in the 70's, I had an RCA CTC-25, nearly identical to this one, with it's original, and shot, 25AP22A CRT. I used to turn it on a few minutes before my program started, so the picture would brighten up enough to watch, in a nearly dark bedroom!

Looks great!!! The CTC-16 I bought years ago in Little Rock, AR. was an RCA Service Co serviced set. It even had a black matrix grade AA RCA picture tube installed in 1977.
