RCA 21CT55 B8802897 is Alive!

[stromberg6]

I congratulate you on your great success! Back around 1975, I saw an ad in a magazine by RCA that featured a 21CT55 that had supposedly been bought new by a family, and had been under contract with RCA Service Co. since. The ad showed a screen shot of a macaw, and told of the "updating" of the TV with a new CRT (presumably a 21FB), the idea being that they can keep your RCA TV going forever, IF you have a service contract. Don't know which mag it was in, but it made an impression.
I have yet to see a 21CT55 in operation, but we do have that CT-100 in the museum in Windsor, CT. Fired it up last Sat night for our holiday party using a "Cinderella" DVD. The CTC-2 and 2B are incredible chassis!
