Back in the mid 80's I worked for RCA Labs (the Sarnoff Lab in Princeton) and I had a CTC 101 Colortrak with a comb filter. Very good picture in its day. But the CTC101 had that infamous integrated flyback problem. They skimped on the number of high voltage diodes inside the flyback, 6 high voltage windings with at first 6 diodes between windings, later they tried to get away with 3. No good...
