"Color simulator"
1 Attachment(s)
This is my 1959 GE with the attachment of the unbeliavable "color simulator screen" that was sold here in my country between the 1950's and 70's. This is probably the most ridiculous TV accessory I have ever seen.

I've seen a "deluxe model" that had 3 strips, blue across the top for sky, the red/orange across the middle for those Trump-like fleshtones, and green across the bottom for grass, I guess.

I remember seeing the deluxe version on a set back in the 60's at the shop where I worked in SC. Believe it was on a Silvertone 21".

A hilariously cheap gimmick.
What I'd be interested in, is to see is how this performed. http://earlytelevision.org/pdf/pop_elect_10-68.pdf http://earlytelevision.org/butterfield.html If the effect is real, with today's cheap electronics it probably would not be hard to demodulate a color signal to RGB, re-matrix to YMC gate which one is shown each frame and re-modulate it as perceptual color 'monochrome' video. If I manage to un-bury myself in repairs, that project is high up on my "I want to build this" list......If it does work and I can build the circuit I'm thinking of, I know which set to test it on...One night about 6 years ago I dreamed my 19" monochrome Zenith Space Command was producing a color picture, unmodified (it'd be neat to see that). |

I remember my parents getting one of those. We didn't even use it for one day.
