I can only recall CTV as an abbreviation of cable television. Anyway, I must admit I'm surprised by how much interest there is now in 60s era color TV sets, even rectangular screen sets.
My collecting history goes back 35 years and my perception of a "cool old set" has really not changed from that time til now. The kind of set which was then common to see in most any basement--round (at least roundish) screen, knobs below screen, speaker below knobs, is still the kind of set I look for. After all, sets in a horizontal cabinet configuration with controls and speaker on the right were contemporary and common. Since I can remember later roundies in use as primary sets not even that by itself makes a set desirable for me personally.
That's probably why to date I have never owned a vintage color TV, my interest falls off sharply after about 1960 equally for color and black & white.
