Funny, now that you mention it, I can't think of any regular-production CTC-anythings that use any compactrons. They were the brainchild of GE, far as I can tell, but RCA obviously sold them as replacements. The octal HV sockets and 3A3-family types were still churning out so fast they probably couldn't be beat for price, and the costs associated with changing a part that needed no change, I think, made the changeover a non-starter.
