What CTC number is this set?

I would take a guess and say CTC-31. Looks exactely like the set my grandparents had, and the remote version model I sold to Doug.

Jstout66 is right... I agree it's a 31. And did you guys notice that it has the RARE 22" 22JP22 CRT in it????? That tube was made only for one or two years.

yep, this set was on ebay a few times about 2 years go. Im glad he still has it. Im concerned that the set might get junked if nobody goes after it in the next few auction attempts.
I did notice the 22" tube. Very rare indeed. Yes, it is a 31 for sure. He say's that hes replaced the horizontal output a few times. That seems odd. If it hasnt been used in 25 years, that means it was used from 68-81 or so. Is it normal to replace just the horizontal output a few times in that time range? Tells me the cathode current might be too high. Wonder what the fly looks like.... As james said, I have this model but a 25" with remote. I power it up periodically and always works great.

Ok, I might actually get this set through craters and freighters. I cant let this set get crushed, its too rare and nice.

There is another CTC31 for sale in Denver Colorado. I saw this ad on the ETF web page. I traced the model number back to SAMS 928-3. It is the CTC 31 with the 22JP22 CRT. Since we were talking about this set, I thought I would post the ETF ad:

RCA Victor New Vista Color TV Model GJ 697 W looking for a good home! Email Renae at renaejbraun at earthlink dot net if you are interested (8/10/06)

I just got an Email from HIM/HER and they still have the set. Did not set a price on it and I did not ask. It is too far away for me to consider shipping.
