I NOT really one of them..
I too have a number of RCA sets--both BW and color, including a fair number of earlier SS and 70's SS sets too. 2-ctc-44 sets, 2 CTC-47 sets, a couple of CTC-67 sets, at least one mid 70's RCA 19" "hotel style" SS set, probably a ctc 71 or 76, a CTC 62 or 72, One CTC-74 NON DA set, A CTC-40 combo set--and later ones, one Cold version of the CTC-130, a CTC-133 console, 2 ctc-131 "box" type sets,.
I do NOT really like most of the "hot" RCA sets, like the chassis #'s you mentioned and also do not like the CTC-140, 146, 149,157,159 or ANY of those style sets, MANY of which I have worked on in the past. They nearly ALWAYS have good tubes though.
I am NOT really 'brand loyal" though I do have a soft spot for Zenith and RCA. I am more "design loyal', and have ALWAYS steered clear of hot chassis sets-(including radios, phonos and stereos), -though today--I WILL often grab one, if it is older and rarer, even if I personally do not want it--someone else might.
