Thoughts On A CTC-39

[freakaftr8]

I was always under the impression that the CTC-39 was a s good as an RCA tube chassis could get. Most of the flaws and quircks were eliminated and the AGC was top notch. I miss my old CTC-39. I was 14 when my dad and I drug that beast across the street into my bedroom and started to pull tubes when it had a sound, no HV condition. This was the project that my dad and I did together and it's what I think about when I work on a tube set. (male bonding) which my dad and I never got too much a chance to do. Guess the CTC-39 is what got my interested in this type of hobby. I was foolish when I was younger and when the 39 crapped out (what now I believe was a color crystal) I threw it out. I would love to have that set back.

Go get that set! It had a marvelous picture and I loved staying up late playing nintendo on mine.
