I just looked at the photos courtesy of Steve, and mine was the same front mask but not a console. Just a cheap table model. I have no photo handy, but if I dig one up I'll repost.

I just posted on my site a rare Westinghouse 22" color tv ad from 1956. Just scroll down to the CTC-5 section.

I was not aware there WAS a table model of the 22" Westinghouse. I hope you find that photo... this would be extremely interesting!

Charlie,

Here's a closeup, from the full page ad on my site, of the Westinghouse 22" color table model 22T156 with matching stand. Limed Oak finish.

Interesting to see what tv goes for. Costly to restore even if someone has a big box of used tubes to replace scavenged ones. Bidders have good 15" CRT tubes?? That picture tube is a sticking point, is front mask damaged with missing safety glass? A true rainy day project, I guess some might bid as a display piece only? Are the missing knobs in any photos to verify ALL correct orginal knobs are still there? Any closeups of flyback to show possible visible status??????? Tubes can be removed from TV service shop, ---- a shorted part years ago that may have caused catastrophic damage. I know in RCA sets, the Horiz Output gets shorted out occassionally. I can see this as the reason such an expensive set can be stripped of its tubes and being removed from service, being used as a parts set only. I would only bid as such.

There's critical parts to this TV that are near impossible to replace. I just hope any Akers bidding on this thing ASK for photos to show status of these rare parts.

DOES anybody have a surviving Mortorola 22" color set from the fifties??

[John Folsom]

Wow, that is a pretty good price with a set with a dud CRT! Anyone know who the winning bidder is?

[Charlie]

I'm a little surprised it didn't go higher... it's not everyday that one of these show up.

[John Folsom]

They ARE very rare, but the dud CRT probably dampened the bidding. Wonder if the winner has a good CRT?

Perhaps a rebuild 15G from that place on the east coast!

At least with this set it was revealed that the tube was a dud, and really, what would the odds be that one of these tubes in any set would be good enough to be usable, let alone better than that? Better than buying one with no knowledge of the pic tubes status and wishfully hoping that it's still good - with a bid to match.

First of all, it isn't stereo. And if that wasn't enough to bomb out the saleability, it uses too much electricity and the screen is too small. Who'd want it???
