When I first read about my CTC-5 "Special" being the set where they first went with the inferior narrowband color decoding, I was disappointed, like I had the 'turd' or 'dog' of antique color tvs...but then figured out that this same not-as-good type of decoding was used for almost all TVs after this point, so I think the Special gets sort of bad rap in this respect it doesn't deserve. CTC-16s etc had the same non-I/Q decoder. Hell, did they ever go back to full IQ decoding even to the modern day other than a few isolated sets?
