Actually, the 4 was one of the easier sets I've worked on. Most things remained about the same after the CTC-4 and 5, which were each special in their own ways. The 4 detected color on different axes than any other set before or after: R-Y and G-Y vice the typical R-Y and B-Y that came later, or I/Q that came before, along with having high level demod. The 5 had a funky demodulator circuit using 12AT7's. The CTC-7 and everything thereafter looks the same on paper, subtle changes only. Most of it is different tube types, but later ones also shed an IF stage or 2 due to getting tubes with higher gain.[/QUOTE]
Nick.... The CTC5 had two different chassis that year. The better model had a color circuit that was simular to the later chassis.
