Greetings! Sorry for the delay in replying!

Yes, the pending holidays have been keeping me busy; another thing keeping me busy is my first roundie; The Brookfield CTC-11. I’ve been reading up on purity and convergence. The weekends keep slipping by and not much work has happened to the Brookfield in the past 3-4 weeks. Once I’m satisfied the Brookfield is complete, then I’ll assess where the Paterson is at. To be honest I haven’t even cracked off the back to peek inside! The seller claimed it had a raster and static out of the speakers, my friend who picked it up for me verified that. That is as much as I’ve done with the Paterson, I won’t plug it in until it has fresh parts.

It is flawless, one scratch on the right side, other than that, nothing. One member commented on the odd split level cabinet and how a person would have had a hard time placing a decorative doily on top; that probably helped keep the decorative junk off the top, and resulted in preservation! The Paterson is a way cool set; I can’t imagine many are still in existence today. From other comments about its design, I'm inclined to go with "Mid-Century Modern", perhaps the successor to deco?

I’ll keep the readers posted once the Brookfield is complete! Thanks!! Bill
