Hello all, thank you for the interesting information! Has anyone heard about the gimmick people used back "then" to make the BW TVs look like they had color? Mom recalls a cellophane (?) material with blue on top and green on the bottom that you could put on the screen to alter the picture color. I know that is lame but I think color tvs were still a "luxury" even if you could afford to buy one (here in the conservative midwest that is).
As kids (late 1960s), when we actually had our 3 color tv sets stacked on top of each other ("field testing" dad said) we would have alot of fun turning the picture from green to red to light to dark to verticle hold or not! The TVs were on "loan". I began to love electronics because we were allowed to play with the sets at a young age. Nothing ever broke so bad that it couldn't be fixed. Thanks Dad!!! I just wish I were better at math.
