Taking this to another level, I don't think any RCA had a really good picture in the last 40 years, EXCEPT maybe the CTC-120. It had I&Q demodulation, and seemed to have really good definition. I mean the 25" direct view version; not the one that they stuck in a 45" projection set. The 25" version had some models with a smoked glass front cover, which really made nice contrast and deeper color.

Those CTC-38s seemed to be the most common curbside find when I was a kid in the 80s. They were always cooked... PCB boards burnt, other major problems.
Second most common curb find was probably a Zenith 20xxxx set from the same era. Those either worked, or just needed cleaning or a few new tubes. After a while, I just started doing horrible kid-like things to the RCAs after I stripped the tubes, and fixing/selling the Zeniths. As I recall, one RCA even ended up at my elementary school with a cinderblock inside of it.
