Wow, that's a beautiful set. I have always wanted a round screen color TV.

That a 15 or 16? It says NewVista, weren't the 16's the first NewVista sets? Controls look like a 15 though. Early 16? Late 15?

They've taken the description of "Color TV" a little too literally....it's ONE color!

Nice looking set, and it even still has that hanging tag.

The "Wakeley" model printed on hang tag (although RCA spells it Wakely in its service guide) is a CTC-11 series (1962). The 4 controls below the hang tag are a clue it's a pre CTC-12 chassis.
Nice clean set. I believe the term "New Vista" first appeared on the CTC-10 models.

Very nice set. I have my eye on this one too since its within driving distance. It would be nice to have a nice non-combo roundie set.

Now _that_ is a nice set. Looks like polaraman is going for it though. I can't even hope to compete with him

. It's almost too nice though - it looks like it's in perfect condition. I'd love to get a roundie one of these days, but it would be fun to be able to do a little work on it too... Besides, I'd never be able to afford it anyway. I have a feeling this one's going to get expensive.

Good luck polaraman - we're rooting for you!

I am in Pennsylvania on vacation right now. The set will close before I have to go back to Georgia. Plus, it is on my way home. I decided to go for it.

that model had to be early 62" shortly after that they introduced the crt's with the bonded safety glass and anti-glare surface, by 1963 all crt's had the bonded glass both regular and ant-glare

oldtvman · #12 05-03-2005, 06:22 PM

i guess the new vista replaced the old vista

But this set has a safety glass and wouldn't require a bonded tube?

Steve D. · #15 05-03-2005, 11:23 PM

In 1962 RCA offered CTC-11 models with both the 21FJ bonded or the 21FB conventional tube. Both were the new all-sulfide higher brightness tube.
