I'm thinking that ones gotta be a CTC-25 because of the tuner lay-out. RCA color sets were pretty sturdy. Hopefully it will power up fine, but its weaknesses will be the flyback and those 2 discs in front of the audio output (it's early morning here and my brain is in a fog, I forget what they're called) but they're for the degaus circuit. I forgot about the solid-state audio. I wonder why RCA didn't continue using it in their tube chasssis. I know the CTC-38 and CTC39 (the last tube chassis) didn't use it? So when you power it up look for smoke on the left and right of the chassis. I bet Doug (DRH) has those missing knobs you need, and he could probably help you out on any tech stuff as he seems pretty with it on the RCA's. Anyway.... good score! I'm going to guess 1967 for the year, as my old CTC-31 was 1968. You can look at the code date on the picture tube. It's a 4 digit number and it will be the first 2 digits. (example 67-21 would be 1967) It will be I think under the pix tube type label. Good luck!
