My thought was to take the guts out and put a fish tank in it….thus fish TV. I know, it wasn’t an original idea but it’s a good one. So if you are creative, here you go…a Danish modern cabinet to do whatever with.

Now why can't I find a Zenith with a cabinet like this?

Well, Polaraman is bidding on it, so I think it's safe to say it WON'T turn into a fish tank!

The armchair detective sez: CTC-11, looks like a greenish halo on the crt, Sylvania (or Zenith?) replacement? Remote set? Good luck, polara, this would be a good catch.

Somday I want to buy an Aquarium and convert it into a TV set just for spite.

Wish I knew what the reserve is. Hope it is not one of those $10,000 retro Era sets. Hate to see a fish tank made out of it.

Guys! Thats the cabinet that my CTC-10C uses. This one looks like it might be a remote set, too. CTC-11, I believe.

Why the hell does everyone want to make these fish tanks??? A TV shop several years back told me to do this when I collected old color roundies. I guess that's why they're not in business anymore.

I hope it's not wrong to post a locked thread, but since we're talking about ruining old TV sets, did any of you catch this one????

I am back from a much needed vacation. I won the set!!! Today I requested the model or chassis number from the seller. Hope she can get it to me soon. I can't pick up the set till the weekend after Labor day. We may have to wait for the bloody details till then.

My days in Georgia are numbered. The Army has decided to move me to South Carolina in January. (Fort Jackson) This will be my 7th PCS move in 18 years. I really love the moving part of the experience. I have pretty much played out all the Tv stuff in Columbus.(Fort Benning) I will now have another community to raid!

The model number was posted in the listing. It is a CTC 11. Model number is 212 G 916 RV. What does the RV mean?

I just got back from picking up the set. It is a CTC 11E. The CRt was replaced with a Sylvania on 5-5-77. It is Testing good on all three guns. The red was really slow to come up to the green level. It is up there and staying there now. The assumptions were right!!! THIS IS A REMOTE CONTROL SET!!!!!

The 6JE6 has air in it. The cabinet is in beautiful condition. There is not a bad mark on it. I will post some pictures tomorrow. Anybody got a picture of the remote. Need to hunt one down.
