Thank you all for the nice comments, and for the suggestions about all-glass CRT substitution. The cabinet is in such nice condition, I kept looking at the back edges and elsewhere to see if it had been refinished-but it has not!
Regarding CRT substitution, the CTC4's yoke mount is interesting-it appears to be just about held in air by three metal rods that go to cabinet anchor points above and below the CRT near its front. That seems to me to potentially allow a glass CRT to be attached somehow to the front of the cabinet without needing to clamp the yoke onto the new CRT, which would be a big challenge otherwise. In fact, I also have a CTC-5 that may need a glass CRT as well, and I am going to look at similar mounting options for that set's yoke and CRT.
