Just happened to be in the right place at the right time, and BOOM! , it was there!

Yes, it's for a CTC-16 and not a 16XL, but the diff can be adjusted for when needed!
I just saw the eBay listing for that flyback, and was amazed. $150? For just one color TV flyback transformer? That fly must be incredibly rare if the seller wants that much for it; that, or else the seller wants to get as much money as he can from the sale (the latter, unfortunately, is quite common on eBay; I have seen ridiculously high opening bids for 1950s-'60s TVs and radios, and cannot help wondering how the seller manages to sell the set, if he or she ever does). I could see paying that much for a flyback if the TV it goes with is very old and/or rare, but the RCA CTC-16 is from the mid-1960s, so replacements for any of its parts, including the flyback, shouldn't be anywhere nearly that expensive.
