First, very interesting site.

This is ironic, because I took delivery of my very first color TV in August, 1966. I had been working in my new job, fresh out of high school for 19 months. Managed to save a few dollars. Bought a new 19'inch RCA. I lived near Mitchell Field in Milwaukee. It was higher ground, so installed a tripod and the most powerful antenna available with rotor on my parents roof. I could receive all the Chicago stations including channel 5, WMAQ. I remember channels 2, 5, 7, 9, 13 and 32 in those days. Reception was always best at night. That was our first color set. My parents had a black and white.

The first time I saw color TV was in 1956. Saw it after school at a family members home. Can't remember the brand.

I was not able to see your video,,only the audio on my iPad.
