1954 RCA Color FS (Ontario, Canada)

[Penthode]

I contacted the gentleman the previous morning. He lives about an hour and a half away from me. He originally posted a photo from the ETF site of a 1954 CT100 which I recognized. He was not sure what his set was. I was skeptical it was a CT100 and asked for some photos.

From the model no. on the back I found it was the '59 Winslow and shared him the photo I grabbed from the ETF Ed Reitan site to explain what it is. He said the set has sat in a shed since 1988 with it's face against the wall and he could not easily extracate the set. The next hour I see he updated his ad and put the photo I forwarded him plus my explanation as to what set it must be. No clue what the front was like. The photo posted above I wonder when it was taken? Must have gotten some help to get it out of the shed?

I believe he thinks it is worth a lot of money. I told him a friend of mine would dearly appreciate the set as his first color roundie. (I have affected him and he is new to this hobby).

$4000 is obviously over the top. I had the same estimate of $300 if it has a good CRT. Note the finish to the top is pretty rough and he did not put it in the ad.

Attached is the photo of the top.
