That 17-inch 100% solid-state GE color is not a true Portacolor in the sense seen in this March, 1978 advertisement. It uses the Portacolor trademark, which was owned and registered by GE in 1965-66. A true Portacolor uses a 9-inch color CRT, an 11-tube chassis and this will not have a black-matrix or black-stripe CRT as well. Also, another error in that March, 1978 ad is that it states the Portacolor being introduced in 1965, that's not the case. The Portacolor was introduced in 1966.
