Dave's is the correct saturation, the picture is just too blue.
But to all of you with these old TVs, let me admonish you, PLEASE!! PLEASE!!! One word! Doilies!!!

 Doilies are for old ladies! If you want to protect the finish of the cabinet top get a piece of glass cut to match the size and shape of the top and glue some small thin felt pads to the side of the glass that will be resting on the cabinet (one at each corner)....It is much better at preventing scratches and water marks, was used on fine furniture of the period, and looks 300% cooler.

I have noticed that the hue of the colors shift over time while I am watching the set. I find myself having to adjust the hue control pretty often. I thought I heard somewhere that this was a problem with the CTC-5 even back in the 50's. Is this true? What causes this?

Try tapping the burst amplifier tube with something like a screwdriver handle, while watching the display in a mirror.
BTW, a restored vintage TV is never 'finished'. It will always be a "work in progress".

Pentode section on the 6an8 burst amp tested borderline. Swapped it out for a better testing one. Helped a bit. Slowed down the rate of change of the hue. Still having to readjust the hue control a bit. What would cause this? I need to get this sorted out before the Super Bowl airs.

When you say "hue", do flesh tones tones drift toward green or purple? Or does the tint of the overall raster drift?
Flesh tones are considered the standard for setting the mid point of the hue control (sometimes called tint control).
