I have noticed something strange. I was trying to figure out if my chassis is a early or late production chassis. Reading Bob G's article on CTC-4 chassis variants determined that my chassis was an early production chassis. One thing I have noticed is that the RCA service manuals and schematics calls for a 3.58 MC oscillator crystal, but the sams calls for a 3.579545 which is extremely close to 3.58 Mhz. This crystal seems to be a factory original part of the set, but I am confused as to why there isnt a 3.58. Maybe RCA ran out of 3.58's and used 3.579545 to substitute. I must also mention that the crystal in the set rattles when I lightly tap on it.
