I have two examples of the first and second generation CTC-22. The first one I found at an estate sale back in 1998 and the last one in 2005. I have the old RCA Service manual by Carl Babcoke and he mentioned that the ctc-22 was first introduced in March, 1967. His quote from the book "early production ctc-22's are easliy identified by the manual deguassing switch behind the TV". This particular one I have is an early production, I remember seeing many 1967 date codes in it as well last time I had the back off which was probably 8 years ago. The picture quality on the early ctc-22 is really good. The '69 isn't as sharp but still decent.
