1973 RCA CTC-59 thrift find

[N9ZQA]

Had seen this set at one of the local thrifts recently and stopped in today to see if it was still there. Was priced at $20, but was in good shape, so I lugged it up to the counter and found out it was 50% off.

Haven't done much to it other than a quick greyscale setup; convergence is off quite a bit and the yoke is tilted, but other than that it responded well to initial tweaking.

The label is missing from the back, but there is a duplicate inside which states that its model year is 1973. The delay line is marked '5 July 1972'. Didn't think to write the model number down while I was in there, though.

An aunt and uncle had a similar set when I was growing up; now I just need to find the chrome legs that are supposed to be with it and I'll be set.
