That picture of the reporter in front of a house, is that Mr. Houston's house? If it is it must be transdimensionally transindental, as they would say on the British science fiction series Doctor Who, since it looks rather small from the outside.
With regard to the RCA TRK 12 I'm wondering how many of those sets are around that nobody knows about. Until now I did not know that Mr. Houston had one, but Mr Houston has many interesting things, and good taste in what he collects. There is one in Ottawa, Ontario in the museum of science and technology, that is the one that I saw in person in a glass case. I have seen photos of others posted online including the restoration of one.
Best Regards
Arran
