Dunno if it's an outlier, but our '62 CTC-11 still has all it's original boards in good shape and it produces an excellent picture. Thanks to a tune up by Dave G MotoMinion, it's the pride and joy of our '56 era living room (he's got all the CTC-5s lol). In his opinion the -11 was, for a roundie, a particularly good mix of RCA's refinement up to that time and a decently durable design. We just love how it looks, and in our mid-70s it warms those childhood nostalgia cockles of our heart as well!

PCBs especially in the CTC-12 and newer sets tend to have their own set of problems. Joints melt and go open fuse able board jumpers open, PCB tube sockets get hotter and fail. All tube sets have their issues and you pick your flavor of poison.
