One of those sets I worked on, that had that style switch was a CTC40. That set is well worth picking up, as it's RCA's first solid state chassis. IT could be a CTC44 or 46 as well.

If your sure it's a tube set, it's probably a CTC39 from around '71. However, that switch was more commonly used on the CTC40, 44, and 46. The 46 was the first upright modular chassis.
