In the last 6 years or so of keeping an eye on evil-bay I have only ever seen ONE roundy ever, and where the price was nominal, the shipping was WAY beyond exorbitant. :(
Me thinks you are being a tad bit facetious here! :P :yes:

Soooooo sorry…thinking about a different RCA. This one…17-PT-9059

I seem to recall when I was living in East Hartford, there were still one or two other folks with roundies in the area (saw them being moved in/out).

And they weren’t collectors.

Those CTC-16s never died

I gave it the half-a**ed recap I did back then and it was working.
I haven't lit it up for a long time, so it needs a full going over.

Go for it! Glad this rekindled your interest!

So far, I have only been able to get my hands on 2 color roundies here in TX, MORE! MORE, I WANT MORE! :)
Yet he who shall not be named of the state of California, seems to have enough to fill up a chess board with them! :O
Not fair! :/

I didn't know I'm competing with Voldemort.... I've got some work to do as I only hav about 21 Roundys (I'd probably have him beat if I didn't occasionally sell my least favorite examples). If a pony express trade deal I have going this weekend and later goes through I'll be able to claim having owned and serviced every RCA and Zenith chassis except for the CTC-11, 12, and the K- year Zenith.

Those 16s are tenacious (as long as the flyback isn't toast) most I've seen with a good fly at least partially function....Even one that the cabinet had rusted through on the bottom.

I've contemplated subscribing to Voldemort's YT channel. Thoroughly entertaining.

I wouldn't kick a CTC-16 outta bed. Not sure where I'd put it though:scratch2:
Just dope that fly in Permatex Grey. I've done the one on my 21 twice.
