I have a couple of Centered Tones of different vintage, and have restored a number. I haphazardly keep a chart of bore information, which I have excerpted here. You will see that these are NOT cylindrical (contrary to popular belief), and similar to the Series 9 in this respect.
Check the bore measurements at top and bottom of the upper joint and the top of the lower joint. The bells on many of these clarinets have been replaced as this vintage (K-->Q serial numbers) tended to get bell cracks early on. One of my CTs (my favorite as a matter of fact) has been modified slightly to fit a 10G bell, which are commonly available as NOS.
