I'm drifting off topic for the moment here, but I had a CTC 101 set, the one with the comb filter. And the infamous bad flyback, the one with segmented high voltage windings with diodes between some of those windings. They first did 6 segments, and six diodes, but they tried to cheap out with just 3 diodes. The dynamic "AC" waveforms were too much for this design, and it would blow up after a while.
The yoke was interesting, in that the horizontal windings were "hot chassis" but the vertical was "cold chassis". The horizontal output circuits functioned as the set's switching power supply, with isolated outputs.
Aside from the bad flyback, this set had a great picture, I'd like to find another sometime (my old one got tossed when it died). If I had room, that is...
