CT-100 on eBay So Cal

Charles-

What is significant about the bottom cover? If it was missing, is it not possible to make a suitable replacement? I will possibly bid on the set as well, since I am in California and do not have a CT-100. Thanks.

A few hours ago, I emailed the seller asking for the chassis serial number. If/when I hear from him, I'll post the results.

Here's the list of published serial numbers of the CTC2 chassis.

The cabinet numbers are less valuable for production documentation because they recycle five times with never a value higher than 999.

The missing bottom cover is just one of the usual CT-100 annoyances, like the cracked UHF-VHF splitter board. I suppose you could make one, and I saved two of them from a CT-100 and a 21CT55 that burned in the '88 fire. I have those someplace still, unless I let someone in need have them in the past.

I probably will drop out of the bidding, and here I say in public, I'm not going to run it into orbit. My CT-100 is nice & complete, but has a failed CRT and water damage to the 'feet' on the cabinet. It's not worth $1000+ to me to have a set that's a little better, but still with a failed tube.

Thanks, Charles. If I bid and win the set, I will get in contact with you!

Like Steve K mentioned, some of the history of the set is known, as the previous owner is a good guy and forum member who would probably share what he knows about the set with the new owner. The current owner is also a good guy, and while he does deal in antiques, he enjoys them as much as we do, and is into everything old including his 1800's house and 1910-1940 cars.
While he does know what he has, he is certainly not out to gouge anyone with a no reserve auction and could potentially take a loss, not that I know what he has into it.
