Curtis Mathes, You Know Where
 

Yep, another one out there on ebay. This one is in Indianapolis.

ow! this is getting on the edge of a practical trip to pick it up -- but it would go with my LR furniture, even better than the Maggie I bought from Doug - (thinking......) :headscrat

By the way, anyone know what RCA this might be similar to?

The Curtis Mathes roundies of this time seem to be a cross between the CTC15 and 16. The audio board is set up like a 15... would have the audio output tube on the audio board (unlike the 16 that places this tube on the metal chassis). The high voltage cage is set up like a 16... uses a focus rectifier tube (unlike the 15 that uses a solid state rectifier). At least, that's the way it is on my Curtis Mathes. I think the CM chassis in mine is a C-20.

thanks

Thanks for the tip my current bid is $50 I hope it holds up, then 148 miles one way to go pick up the beast

Darn :(

My friend's looking for one for his home uptate, but he's in finals now and i'm tied up at work.

*sigh*. Hopefully this summer a good Nimitz-class console will show up...

Uptate? :-) You just reminded me of what the Jerky Boys say "I'm from UPstate!"

I used to hear people derisively say that CM made some very fine electronic furniture.

The last time that I was in Athens, Texas, I drove by the old Curtis Mathis factory. It has been empty for years. I also have heard that there is some ground contamination around it, so it will be hard for anyone else to move in.

The TV shop that I cleaned out was in Athens, so it has some Curtis Mathis items in it.

Is this name still used by anyone as is the RCA name?
