Some of those cabinets look pretty cool, and would be hard-pressed not to take one if I saw one at a sale, but as in previous posts, I'm sure you're aware I hated the CTC-38. RCA "cheaped out" on that one.That and the CTC-39 were the last tube chassis they used in a console. When we got a call on one it was almost always a bad flyback and a boat load of bad 6GH8's. The sets were mediocre when new, and once they got some age on them it got worse. We'd fix em if we had to, but always pressed the customer to not waste money and get into a solid-state Chromacolor. I'm sure that was the mindset of many repair shops in the late 70's early 80's, so it amazes me if I see one at a sale, altho I would have to say it's been a few years since I saw anything tube.
