ANOTHER consolette RCA CTC-19 today!

[kx250rider]

We were just discussing these 19" mini-console RCA color sets a week or 2 ago, and I had commented that I had only ever seen one in the wood cabinet, in addition to the one that was posted about here. But Saturday morning, I got a call from Dr. Dan saying he had found one at a probate sale in Reseda, CA, and did I want it? I said SURE!, and he picked it up for me at $18. This one is a model GG-530, and has a CTC-19P in it. It's very clean, and looks pretty much virgin except for a brightener on it. This is definitely an early one, as it has the pot metal knobs and not the plastic ones. I haven't fired it up yet, since it's midnight and I'm pooped. I might see what it does tomorrow, and I will check the tube and see how bad it is with that brightener. Hopefully, a TV repairman had an extra brightener to sell, and the tube might be OK without it. Seen that many times.
