Just think of all the models that could have been, even if CTC7-10 RCA clones...  |
Dave,
All those manufacturers who followed RCA Victor in it's big 1956-57 push to market color tv failed miserably. Even giant RCA, who sold the majority of color sets in this period, was very disappointed. The prices were to high and the color programming was to little to justify purchasing this luxury item. Pretty much only RCA with it's NBC network continued to offer color sets & programming in any significant way. In 1962 some of these companies choose to re-enter the color tv market. It still took another 3 or 4 years for the average buyer to come round.
