In 1965, I got two junker CTC-5s, one with a shorted 21AXP22 and the other with a bad flyback. I took the good chassis and mated it with the good CRT and the good mahogany cabinet, and gave the left over pieces to a friend.
After spending a week on my set converging it and tuning it up, it looked really great. It was a table model set but I found a matching mahogany swivel base and surprised my dad with a $25 dollar color set. His first remarks were the sets never looked this good in the store, or he would have bought one.
Don't know what it is about a round tube color set, but I still prefer watching
on one of those instead of a set with corners in the picture.
I have another CTC5 and plan to do a really good restoration on it, but now I need another mahogany swivel base, so if anybody has an extra, let me know. Cliff
