If I recall, the CTC-40 was RCA's second solid state production set. The G-2000 (CTC-47) released for the 1969 model season I believe was their first completely solid state production set. They were to have produced 2000 of them (don't know if that ever really happend) and they had a sticker price os $2000 in 1969. While this wasn't the set more could afford like the CTC-40, it was a milestone marker in television technology.
I am lucky to own one of these that was never sold an it is in mint condition and has a picture on it that, in my opinion, blows modern crt sets, like my JVC 36" which is only 3 years old, away!
Just my 2 cents, if I am incorrect, I am sure someone will point this out.
