Was waiting for a tow truck to show up at my house, with family member's car on the hook. Ford's 4.6L plastic intake manifold had decided to crack, and leak coolant everywhere. Shop wanted $1600 to fix, so I said bring it here and I'll do it, etc. Boring sitting around the house, so we decided to watch some TV.
"what's wrong with your TV's colour?"
"nothing, it's working fine, isn't it?"
"the colour is all wrong... look that is supposed to be purple, and it's blue"
"is it? looks fine to me.. uh oh"
Looks like I did the best I could, and got used to it.
OK found a station showing colour bars. Sat my Trinitron beside the Zenith, and no possible position of the RGB and tint controls makes them look the same on both sets. The (1979) Trinitron looks like a photo of a set of colour bars, but the Zenith will get either yellow or purple right, but not both at the same time! When purple looks good, yellow looks green, and when yellow looks good, purple looks red. Back to the bench it goes!
