From what I've been able to find out so far, that's my guess too, but there are a bunch of different TV models that used those chassis, and doing images searches for RCA CTC-38 and RCA CTC-39 never turn up the exact model that we had.

Yes, it was very similar to this 1970 Lundberg with a solid-state CTC-40 chassis, including the speaker area that pivots outward to reveal additional controls and the plain, compact wooden cabinet...

... except it didn't have a swivel base (though its legs had about the same styling) and it didn't have the separate power switch lever/bar above the VHF dial.

Look on e-bay for RCA brochure, they do come up often.
CTC 38 & 39 would have spanned apx 1968 til the end of tubes in consoles.
Zeniths evolved slowly & RCA took one leap so no real hybrid consoles..

I'd rather not buy an RCA catalog without first knowing that our old TV is definitely in it. I'm not even sure if they always listed every single model of TV they made in their catalogs, including all the ones that were identical aside from the wooden cabinet design.
