On Quasars, the 19" sets with the plastic front overlay (1975 or so), for some reason in my opinion, have a BEAUTIFUL picture. Color actually looks like the early phosphor RCAs with I & Q demodulation (CT-100, 21CT55, & ilk), although the Quasar is neither. The chassis wasn't too nice though as I recall. Lots of intermittent problems and bad connections. Poor alignment was always a problem (tunable ghosts, beat patterns, etc) But it was only that particular 19" set with the smoke plastic that had the incredible picture. All the others seemed to have a flat picture with mediocre detail. And my other Quasar COMPLAINT was the sharp edges on the chassis metal, and the works-in-the-drawer that always jammed. Slice your finger on the springsteel "blade" catch to release the drawer, then poke the module contact pins deep into the flesh of the thumb
