Another find in New Jersey

[Dave S]

Sharp-eyed Bob, you win the prize! (with a major honorable mention to Eric for coming so-o close.) There wasn't much to go on there and it sure didn't look like anything familiar. (I was just being a brat by only showing you the "first impression" pictures. Once we pulled it out from the wall it was built into and found the model number on the back things started to make more sense.)

First thing we saw was the model number 21-CT660U. That would have cinched it for you early color experts, but not having played around with any of these it didn't ring a bell other than to convince me that it was surely at least "very interesting." We weren't really sure what we had on hand until we took the back off and saw "CTC-4" stamped on the chassis. My friend Darren who was the one who found it realized that it was built into a custom cabinet of a type which he's found to be fairly common in the New York area. It may have even been done a few years after the set was new. The cabinet looks very "Mad Men", certainly more recent vintage than the stock cabinet.

Don't be too envious of me though, I didn't have any room for it, and neither did Darren. We called Steve and he was interested so he was the actual buyer and you'll be able to see it in Hilliard next spring.
