Andy,
Glad you got one. I had the same disease for years and I'm on CT-101 #2. I managed to drop the first one and demolish it. If anyone needs some internal boards, knobs or CRT assembly, I have stock. Now where did I put them?
#2 is very happy. The picture always reminded me of a 1" Porta Color.
I always suspected they made it because it was the logical marketing extension of the numerous Travelvision B&W versions they had. Gotta go color sometime and let the camcorder viewfinder division pay for the design.
There is probably a thread on unique, niche, why-did-they-make-it products waiting to happen. Like the GE 4" color/boombox that keeps popping up recently.
I re-celled my first one with some kind of military looking Japanese AA's I found at a hamfest. They are high amps and heavy. It will run for just short of four hours on them. Be careful of the little charging tab on the battery sleeve. You can bend it right out of usefullness.
