Looks like CTC 159 to me to. Not a CTC175-176-185-186 &
thats good !
Good sets, not a lot of problems. Its the bread & butter chassis
used in low to mid step sets. Never seen a bad CRT, in fact only
time a saw bad ones in 90's RCA were high miles hotel & hospital
sets. No question RCA had the best tubes in the 90's.
