Hi, I'm new to the audiokarma forums, so I just thought I'd post and say Hi. It was so cool to run across this site. I didn't know there was much of anything out there for people intereted in vintage electronics. Any, I have posted a picture gallery of a few of the items in my collection, so check em out and let me know what you think. There are pictures of some the TVs I have except for a late '90s model JVC 19", an RCA CTC-68 Lyceum 25", and a CTC-9 "Roundie."

That CTC-68 Lyceum is one of my favorites with the metal cabinet!

Go to the main audiokarma page that lists all the forums which is http://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php? and scroll down to "The Members Photo Gallery" (it is about a third of the way down). the link to that page is http://www.audiokarma.org/gallery/index.php You can go all the way down to the bottom of that page and see the recent uploads. If you click on any of the thumbnails with my screenname under them (matt_s78mn) that will take you to my gallery.

Hi Matt,

Wow, except for the cabinet color your B&W RCA portable is the same set I had in the early 70's!!

Is the horizontal output tube by chance a 38HE7?


Found this ad on eBay some time ago.

Welcome aboard Matt. I'm sure you'll fit in just fine here. Please do post pics of your CTC-9

Yea I agree. I wish I had a pic of it to post on here, but it is in storage at a different location. It was originally owned by the high school I went to, so it has the usual scuffs and dings from being in that type of environment. The speaker grille is mashed in a bit and it has a few scratches on the sides of the cabinet. I did use it for a while, but it is currently not working. If I remember correctly, I get a white raster and that's about it.

Hey polaraman, thx for the reminder. BTW, is your screen name hinting you are a mopar guy? I am too but am into Imperials and New Yorkers. Anyway, My name is Matt, and I'm located in southeast Minnesota. (Are there any members in my area?) I work as an engineer for a tv studio owned by a cable company. As far as hobbies and interests go besides tinkering vintage electronics, as I stated earlier, i'm into cars, and I also collect vintage computers (mainly apple and commodore stuff though.)

I've had a thing for mopars, especially the A bodies. I've owned lots of Darts, and now I've got a 64 Valiant with a slant and a 4 speed. Most excellent daily driver. Imperials are pimpin' cars, but my wallet is too skinny to afford the gas. I'd love to get my hands on a roundie someday, but for now I just stare at everyone elses.

Hi Eric, no the Horiz Output is a 22JR6. In reference to the post you linked to. I'll have to take the back off tomorrow and investigate, because there is no model # or chassis # markings on the back of the set.

Wow yea that would be a prettys sweet Plymouth. My Imperial get's better gas mileage than my father's Ford F-250 though, LOL Actually I have heard of people getting up to 20MPG with a 440 equipped Imperial, but mine would need lots of tuneup and carb work to ever achieve that.
