Welcome Roundscreen!
Nice jobs on those sets! Takes a lot of patience to get one of those babies going again. The Emerson chassis looks like a CTC-15 clone... or at least it does from the angle i saw in the photo. Will be looking forward to seeing any other sets that you might have/had.

Hi ak.
bryan. what year was your moms high school year book? I think the silvertone is a 65 or 66. Charlie and nasadowski you are right. ctc 15. i have a ctc 15 down stairs and the chassis looks almost the same. the crt in the emerson has a emerson tag on it. Here are some pix of my ctc5. I have 2 of them 1 deluxe and a super. the super is buried under other sets. when i dig it out i will post.I use the rabbit ears on my sets. { don't have cable}.the tuners in old sets pick up some stations better than my 32" rca.

Damn, Ed, MODERN TVs should have as good pictures as yr old roundies do ! Great lookin' sets ! Is it just me, or is watching an old roundie make you feel you're watching Something Special ?!? Guess it's just left over from when I was a kid, & ALL color sets were roundies, & getting to watch one WAS special-there weren't that many around, & not that much stuff was in color.-Sandy G.

excuse me if my typing isnt great tonight, there is a kitten asleep in my arm!
that ctc-5 is great! i dont recall seeing that model before. yep, almost anything looks better on a roundie! mom graduated in 66 so that would be about right. maybe someday i can sneak it out for a pic. iirc, shows a guy with a guitar & amp posing there with the tv's.

Hey Roundscreen,
Add my welcome to the list. You have some great sets in your collection. Your CTC-5 "Asbury" produces a beautiful picture. I also have a CTC-5 Deluxe model "The Wingate". You can see it and the complete CTC-5 model line up and other goodies on my site: http//:community.webtv.net/stevetek/StevesCT100 Steve

Sandy you are right. The modern tv does have a nice picture. Some roundies have better focus but the picture is not as bright. the tuners in old sets seem to hide static and over the air noise better. yes watching a roundie is something special. like when we were kids. i liked going to my aunt and uncles house and watching cartoons on there rca roundie. Bryan. I would like to see that picture. My typing is bad . And i don't have a kitty on my arm.
Steve. thank you. I will check out your site.{ asbury} So cool how rca gave the sets names.
