As I am sure everyone is aware, the CTC2B chassis is an outgrowth of the CTC2; the two chassis have far more similarities than differences.
When I need to view my CT-100 (CTC2 chassis) critically, I never do so without a bare minimum of 30 minutes warm-up, with one hour typical. In particular, fine color balance is not achieved without the warm-up time. I often wonder if a 'time-warp-acquired' set of just-manufactured tubes from RCA Harrison would shorten the warm-up requirement. My sense is that the 55-year-old 6AN8's and 12BH7's require more time to stabilize than when they were new, even though the time on them is not great.
