However.. you could usually repair em in-house because for the most part it WAS a 6GH8, and if it was a flyback.. one of the easiest tube chassis to remove.
I never thought the CTC38,39's were that bad. The only HV rectifiers I had in my caddie were 3DB3's. Just about every RCA was hard on flybacks. The 19's 24's, 31's and the 20's were not as good as the 38 family. I have a CTC51K that isn't that great either.
