    Commercial controls corporation

    Just curious, I dont know of anyone, or heard much chatter about these since I have been a member. My question is, has anyone personally seen, or know of anyone who has actually seen one? I know with only about 239 built, it would be a rare thing, if they built them at all. Are there any pictures, documented examples, etc, or just Folklore.

    a blue sky marked one sold at RIA for 7000 6-7 yrs ago, it was ugly but brought top dollar-I looked at it, even bid but got smoked-had serious reservations-have seen a foto of another-no other smells

    I do know there have been a lot of fakes made over the years.

    I believe the one at Rock Island brought $6500. Probably the highest price paid for a blue sky import. LOL!

    Just on the computer. Still kick myself for not buying it. I figured if it went for less than ten thousand, a guy wouldn't have to wait to many years for the price to catch up. You know the saying,"I didn't pay to much I just payed to soon". Very rare bird indeed. That one probably won't be seen again for a long time unfortunately.

    I'm with Mike, Surely there is a picture out there somewhere. I would like to see one also, instead of a drawing of what the receiver looked like.
