Wow you have a CT-100...how did it got there? It was originally in Italy, or did you have it shipped from the States?
A lot of folks here in Brazil who are vintage radio and TV set collectors are people from Italian ancestors. It seems that Italian people are very prone to preserve antique stuff.
I noticed that you have a little Donald Duck on top of your CT-100. From what I read, Disney characters are very popular in Italy...are they still? Here in Brazil we used to be one of the countries where Disney comic books were the most sold in the world, alongside with the US and some European countries. I can almost say that Donald Duck made me learn to read. Growing up during the 80's I enjoyed the "Golden Age" of Disney comic books here, which lasted from 1950 to the mid 90's. They sold by millions, and there were very different types of Disney comic books. Unfortunately, in the 90's the publishing company that has the Disney rights here went into a crisis, and their comic book section was one of the most affected. Things are sadly different today, you almost don't see this magazines on the newsstands, and they are very thin, with a small number of pages. I also believe that maybe these stories, and the reading of comic books in general, might be "outdated" for the young generation who are growing up using the Internet. In a few years, the printing of this magazines here might end. I hope they are having more success in Italy.
