So incredibly fortunate to be bringing these two wonderful sets home!:banana:

I know I can't save em all....but I am sure gonna try!!!!!:smoke:

So..... you're getting them?

Yes indeed. Had a nice long chat with Capt. Moody about them and I am sending him the $$$$.

Can't wait!

Nice! Gotta hand it to you, going for these behemoths and you're in OK. lol

I must say I'm impressed with how fast people are picking these things up when posted. Right now there are threads in all 3 forums where a set was posted and found a home in less than 24 hours.
Now, as long as we can keep the prices realistic we can keep saving these things.

I would be curious to know the chassis numbers in your new combos.

oooooh... it hurts to see one of my favorit cabinet designs being crushed by an early american in pecan no less :(

Both are ctc-21 chassis. The federal/early American combo on top is the Brandywine at it is in Salem Maple. The pecan combo is the top level set but I am not sure of the model name.

I am very excited to be able to bring these home. I love, love the ctc-21 chassis.

Can't wait to get em!

That is the second best looking RCA control panel for the TV and one or both should have the Studio Strobe turntables and an impresive control panel for the stereo. My '72 has a more modern version of that control panel but the stereo has a cheaper lookin control panel and I think in '72 they did not even offer a Studio Strobe and my records play too slow :/

Snag those sets from captain
 

Captain Moody is really cool!:beatnik:

It was great talking to him on several occasions. He was collecting more than had space for. He's been great at preserving solid state/rectangular tv history. Such a person preserves these sets and passes them on to other collectors to enjoy, a true gentleman.

:thmbsp:

Why does he have to live so far away.

:sigh:
