So did the CTC5 Deluxe; that one appears to be the first time RCA used the X-Z scheme. The demodulation angle, according to the RCA service data, is 57.5°. That got played around with in later chassis using the FBP/FJP CRTs due to the all sulfide phosphors those tubes used in an attempt to get subjectively correct color rendition from CRTs that no longer conformed to NTSC specs.
