It is my favorite 1940's TV design. RCA really went to town with this their first 'big screen' tv. 27 tubes, split sound, four stage video IF for full 4MHz video bandwidth, dc coupled video and a two stage sync separator second to none. It even has a high voltage doubler for the CRT supply. It delivers a great picture.
Hope it finds a good home!

Wow this is really bizarre. On the trip to Philly to get my set, I was coming up from Myrtle Beach SC. where I also picked up a CTC5. On the drive north to Philly I got into a bad snow storm. I was supposed to meat the seller that afternoon but the snow storm had traffic down to a crawl. Philly was shut down and I didn't get to Philly until about 7PM. I was able to reach the seller by phone and we arranged to meat the next morning as Philly was digging out. I remember the tv was in a basement and the stairwell was very narrow. We had to lift the set high over our head to clear a narrow part of the stairwell to get the set out of the basement.
