Nice CTC5 or 7 magazine ad on Ebay
How many of us would like to find that vintage color TV still unopened from the 1950's? I thought this ad was neat because of the unopened box.

What I like about that ad is that it looks like they just tore the top and front off the box and got that nice color picture on the tv. I'm not sure how they got to the cord or hooked up the antenna! Perhaps I'm analyzing an ad too much.

If you found one NIB it still wouldn't work without recapping...
 Then you'd have a tough choice to make, fix it or leave it in it's pristine original condition...

Interesting that they shipped this heavy (and expensive!) TV in a cardboard box without massive amounts of padding. You have to guess that they handled parcels more carefully in those days. Phil Nelson

The person I bought this ctc5 E Westcott from ran this set for three hours. I Told him not to do that but he knows that it is worth more if the set lights. Thought for sure the flyback was melted down but it is in good shape and the crt checks good too. I am not going to turn it on without replacing the power supply caps, But I did see pictures of the set working. {cell phone}. This is a awesome find and was lucky to get it. Ed

I'm guessing that's not a real carton - no model number or RCA logo?

Anybody remember the Sylvania full-page ads of an actual screen shot? Sometime in the '70?

I wonder how many kids
pointed to that ad to prove that it is ok to sit close to the screen?
Nearsighted kids would do that and I wonder what effects came about from it?
