I agree that it wasn't one of their better sets, even for that period. The CTC130, 36, 40, 49 and 69 were much better. About ten years ago, a local technician told me how bad he hated CTC169's because they would not stay fixed. I think the reason they wouldn't "stay fixed" was because when he'd get one in with the usual blown HOT, he'd either throw in some random part out of a random junk board and/or he'd fail to investigate the power supply. Usually, bad electrolytic capacitors in the PS caused the B+ to rise, causing the HOT to fry and there would sometimes be other parts associated with the HOT that would go belly up. When I fixed them, I used OEM parts and I checked everything. I don't recall ever having one come back to bite me.
