Tom,

You are quite correct. The "Haviland 21" model was RCA's entry level model and first color table model. It was basically a plain rectangular cabinet w/o any added wood trim detail to keep manufacturing costs to a minimum and meet RCA's price point to the cost conscious consumer. The chassis was exactly the same as all other CTC-4 models. Your "Seville 21" model was the next step up in price and provided a more attractive cabinet with the addition of the picture frame type trim moulding around the front edges of the cabinet along w/a supporting stand w/legs. The ETF did mis-identify their CTC-4 as a "Haviland 21" model simply because the stand was removed at one time. I've seen the set many times and never noticed the error. Thanks for the correction. I'm sure Steve McVoy will make the change when he becomes aware of the error.
