What gets me is that the CTC-169 was used in all sets from 20" ProScan up to 65" projection. They just added "PTV", and a convergence subchassis to the number for the projection version. It was truly the same CTC-169! And not a bad chassis either. I hated the 170, but the 169s were pretty reliable and easy to troubleshoot.
