Pretty straightforward circuits, using common components. If the transformers and esoteric parts are ok it should be fixable.
The set was built by a company in Brooklyn NY, and was sold in "select" stores, hence the name on the cabinet.
Our set has a CRT that has gone to air, and the cabinet is a bit rough, but it is otherwise intact, and very restorable.
Did you get it? If so, I can try to find the manual again. Our museum is in a state of "flux", and there is currently no bench on which to wrench on TV's, so ours won't be worked on soon. A color RCA CTC-9 is next in line!

Hi Kevin;
No I haven't gotten the set yet. I didn't know just what it was and wanted to do a little leg work first before taking the plunge.
Sounds interesting.....must have been a fairly small operation as I've never seen or heard the name before. I wonder if the chassis design was based on one of the "biggies" of the day, or if it was a completely independant design?
It would be interesting to have a set that was engineered and built by one of the little guys.
Thanks for the information.
Bob.
