Saw a CT-100 for the first time

[Charlie]

The ship I am working on makes regular stops in Pugent Sound, WA. A few days ago, while docked in Ferndale, WA, I got a opportunity to go to Bellingham and visit the Spark Museum on Bay Street where they have a working CT-100... along with a nice handful of other TV's. They've got all kinds of early electronics out the wazoo! EVen got to see some early shipboard radio gear... that was wild!

Anyway, my reason for going was to see a CT100. At first, the guy wasn't sure if it was working... mentioned a HV problem but thought it may have been fixed. Well, it was fixed. After he got it on, there was Porky Pig on a Looney Tunes short. It was pretty cool looking, and certainly worth going there for.

We always see these sets on the internet... whether still photos or video posted to You Tube. But seeing one in person... that was really neat! Makes me want one even more.... Dammit!

Also, just a few doors down from the museum was a place to get Cajun food. Hmmm... Cajun food in Washington?? Well, make no mistake about it... they knew what they were doing there in Bellingham! The jambalaya they served was awesome. My nose started running and my head started sweating after the 3rd bight!

So, if you're ever in Bellingham, WA, you can go downtown on Bay Street and see a nice CT100 and get some good Coon-Ass food as well!
