Oops yeah I should have been more clear.
Back to the original post, What did the CTC-117 need? Only issues I've seen on that one were the metal filter can cap being marginal..that would cause a wavy pattern in the video. The crts that went into those early eighties color RCAs were pretty damn good in my opinion. My ctc-97 19" from '80 has many hours on it and looks fantastic still. someof the late seventies RCAs had really bad tubes however..had an old '77 CTC-89 with a stone cold dead blue gun and weak r and g as well. In fact, I am unsure when ColorTrak came out but the earliest ones all had guns with lost emissivity to the point where they couldn't be lined-up for proper monochrome pix. By the eighties (til say '85) I never saw substantial RCA weak tube syndrome
