It is not a CTC12. It is a CTC15.

The CTC12 can be identified by noting if the 3A3, 6BK4, and 1V2 are accessible by opening the TOP of the HV cage. The CTC15s were accessible from the front of the cage. Also, I belive that the CTC15 did not use a 1V2 or 2AV2 for focus rectifier, but rather had a selenium focus rectifier.

Here's the cover of the 1965 Western Auto catalog that I picked up at a flea market a few months ago. What a great picture of mid-60's suburbia. I'm not sure why the 21" round-tube color TV, the refrigerator/freezer, the luggage, and the turquoise living room furniture is in the front yard, but, hey. ...Not to mention any of the other strange things about this picture. Sometimes it's best not to ask.

[Note: The strange little circular marks on and around the color TV and the man's head are dents that were in the cover]
