Not quite so- I recall seeing color sets (probably RCA or RCA chassis Philco) on the floor at Broadstreet Furniture in Kingsport back in the fifties. The CTC numbers and my age were still in the single digits then. I have had a CTC5 (looked like the one listed) and a CTC9 that have since passed through my hands. I still have a CTC4 that I bought in 1966 from a gentleman that bought it new in Ohio and hauled it back in his truck. I installed a RCA 21AXP22 from Radio Electric Supply here in town- first CRT replacement of many that I performed. It has been in storage since 1970- think the caps are still good?
