RCA CTC15 Vintage Tube Television Pickup A Bittersweet Day

[@cttv90108]

This experience confirms what I'm seeing more and more. People don't sell their good stuff on Ebay, they use it to dispose of unwanted items at above market prices.

[@ricknelsonm]

Chris, yes, sometimes they do, and it is not honest of them at all, unless they are up front about the details, I once watched a episode of Judge Judy's Court room, she once said, she would not buy something she wanted or was interested in unless she could see it in person and I guess examine it there and then she can make up her mind, I agree it is the safest way, less or no issues or surprises this way.

7 years later im still watching this

[@ChurchOfTheHolyMho]

Neighborhood Watch... Who knew 8 years later ratting out your neighbors to a government hotline would be the norm. lol

[@johnnytacokleinschmidt515]

Danish modern cabinet! I love that style!

[@Synthematix]

Man i could watch this over and over again

[@mikemoyercell]

So what did she say when you asked her if she's on neighborhood patrol? Lol what a weird lady. And of course she's driving a lexus

[@donh01965]

TALK ABOUT COMMITMENT! Cross Country when gas was 4 bucks a gallon here in Texas, I'm sure it was lot more in LA and Chicago.

[@donh01965]

I love the Danish modern 1950's style.

[@seatboi]

you had a raster, you shoulda put a signal to it & see what kinda picture you get...just MY 2 cents worth, LOL!

[@Turkeydoodlers]

Neighborhood patrol lol... Geesh :) that was great

[@GeoN0JRJ]

That 630TF is beautiful! Nice catch

[@chrisa2735-h3z]

That TVs in amazing shape!

[@ohger1]

5 volts filament? 5 volts is insufficient to get an accurate assessment of CRT value if the tube has hours on it. 5.8 is the minimum test voltage for "life test".

[@richardhz-oi8px]

Doesn't matter anyway, even at 6.3, it isn't even close to pegging the scales. It was supposed to be near NOS, it clearly isn't.

[@radiotvphononut]

I really like that 630!

[@NJRoadfan]

Looks like the CTC-15 has the same control layout as the CTC-12. If I was a jerk, I would have bought the CRT tester with me. Meanwhile, I have a roundie here that nobody seems to want. I don't have the tools to restore it myself.

[@valdarmort]

so did you offer him a reduced price for the set .cause of the high hours crt .what was he asking for the set originally.

[@Inflec]

19:00 still can't get away from the airplanes.

[@markmarkofkane8167]

Cool stuff!!

[@NJPurling]

Not NOS. More like POS. I sure hope that you got a discount of the purchase price because of the failing CRT. I went through a load of colour TV's saved from the dump. With the old 90 degree delta-gun CRT's it was a failing red gun every time. I would play around with the A1 pre-sets and often watch TV with the curtains closed. Then i'd move on when the set developed other faults. Getting the CRT re-gunned was theoretically an option. Lack of cash and not having a crosshatch generator to set the convergence meant it really wasn't a viable option.

[@Synthematix]

I hate seeing people get scammed

[@colintodd222]

Buyer beware. Nice cabinet, bit risky pluging it in like that though. Possible to find a CRT?

[@Turkeydoodlers]

Lol neighborhood patrol geesh

[@MsCori76]

Haha neighbourhood patrol, reminds me of Mudgee! LOL 😂

[@barryg41]

Nice vid! Lots of buying tips!

[@doogie812]

Don't tell me you went from LA to Chicago for a CTC 15. I never liked that chassis. The 11 and 16 were my favs.

[@_Ramen-Vac_]

ride some skateboards up in there! Rawhide!! xD

[@RODALCO2007]

Great video as usual. Pity about the dud tube.

[@Turkeydoodlers]
