Glad you were able to save it. Its a CTC-51A like you said. In the service manual there is no name for the set in the model index, however I have a 74 rca brochure with this set pictured calling it the "Talisman". Looks like the same set I had. Heres a pic of the crappy one I used to have. This picture is a couple years old. As you can tell, its pretty much beat to hell, missing knobs etc.
The 51 uses a lot less tubes that the old CTC22. I think by '74 rca was using alot of Japanese and Taiwanese "RCA" tubes in their sets.
