If I remember correctly, the centertap of the 3CB6s was not tied to anything. This was in the IF section of the TV. Most if not all of the other tubes used 6 volt filaments. I think that in this case, Motorola had just gotten quite a few 3CB6 tubes very cheaply.
That's a 110 degree yoke on that set, so it might be easier to find a yoke cover. According to Motorola service news, they used three volt tubes in all their sets to reduce the tube inventory, for both the factory and the servicer. It made sense, as the built so many series-string sets.
