Need help identifying 1960s RCA Victor Home Entertainment Center
I need help identifying this 1960s (according to family members' memory) RCA Victor Home Entertainment Center. It has a color TV, turntable and stereo inside a maple cabinet. My grandmother is moving and I'm trying to find it a good home with someone who will appreciate it. The television worked well into the '80s. I looked all over the backside for any other kind of identification marks, but there were none and wouldn't be surprised if the panels containing those marks were discarded at some point. The stereo and turntable are still operational according to family members. Thanks!

I went back today to do some more digging. It does have the 'New Vista - Victrola' emblem over the turntable, and what looks like 'CTC30AE' on the back of the television portion.

If you tell us what region of the country you are located in someone here may be willing to give that set a good home.
I'm in the Milwaukee area and would not mind saving a set like that if it were fairly close.

This is a 1966-1967 era combo. Late model with the old RCA logo. The newer style RCA Block Letter Logo debuted in 1968. The changer installed is the big giveaway that dates it for me.

I was getting rid of things in my grandmother's attic and found the rear cover for the TV set. I attached the picture to the original post. And with that additional info, I was able to find a pdf of the original catalog from that time (it's a 2.1MB PDF so too big to upload but would love to share it with anyone interested). It looks like it's a Tarrytown HJ855. Thanks!

CTC30 was one of the better chassis in 1968..... if you could save the flyback.
