On the chassis is a rubber stamp: CTC-7AC.

The CRT could be a replacement. I can't see any marks other than a serial number. This set clearly got used, not just bought and stuck in a closet. Around the fine tuning knob is a circle where the finish was rubbed off to bare wood, same as my CT-100 cabinet. Shows you how owners were constantly adjusting these early color sets, I guess.

I was more concerned about beating fishtankers than other collectors. The combination of nice cabinet with big screen makes it irresistible fishtanker bait. The last TV I bought from craiglist had already been sold for "repurposing." I got it by offering $40 rather than the asking price of $10.

Long term I will need to unload at least one of my CTC-11s to make room for this in the house.

It's a vicious cycle, I'm telling you! I have to get rid of my CTC-9 now, because there's no room left. I'll probably end up selling the 7 as well, though I'd rather not see it go. All in the name of CTC-4 glory I suppose, the wife only wants me to keep one.

Yeah... it's funny how they only want you to look at one TV. Where do they get these goofy ideas?
