Hi,
the guy on the Funkschau page is checking the correct location of the cathode rays, illuminating the phosphor dots (purity).
Color tv sets of the first generation are very hard to find. When color tv starts at the end of August, 1967, only 5,000 color tv sets were able to receive the first color tv broadcasts. All these sets were very unreliable. The picture tubes were bad after six years, and the people put these sets to the local damp. I have only three of these very early color tv sets in my collection. I got them via internet or newspaper. People saw my tv web pages and telephoned me, asking whether I want an early color tv set, and so on.
Here in Germany, there are not more than ten collectors which deal with early color televison.
The Telefunken PALcolor 708 is a very common set, I believe that appr. ten or 20 of these sets still exist. But the other sets are much rarer.
