What brand of tube is it? I've seen RCA tubes with the year stamped on the rear center of the base where the index pin is located. |

Cool ! A ctc-5 AA is one of the Delux Chassis sets if I'm not mistaken, others will
verify I'm sure ! The number might be a date code.... 4th week of 1964, or the 62nd week of 1904, or 2004, I'm sure lots of people are laughing at that decoding.... Might me a manufacturing plant ID, or something put there to drive collectors nuts 50 years after the set left the factory..... This one definitely gets my vote ! edit: Sorry Eric, I didn't see the page 2 until the post went up ! HA HA ! .

The chassis is a Deluxe model. The 21AXP22A is a RCA brand. I finished replacing all of the paper caps and now need to do the electrolytic caps.

My CTC-5 is one of my very favorite sets. Temperamental, yep. As noted, they run a fairly low HV. I think mine is measuring closer to 19kv or so. Definitely a different animal than what came later.

Maybe I'll try a different flyback in mine at some point, a deluxe 5 with better HV would be a very nice set.

I'm going to try to get to my Whitby this coming winter. The chassis has been re-capped, and has been powered using resistors to dummy-out the sweep section, so it'll be interesting to see how it performs complete. After reading the posts in this thread, it came to mind that a room dedicated to display of early color might be painted black. Need to convince the board at the museum to let me do it.
