Hazel, Color episode

[julianburke]

You're saying that color sets had a light like a stereo light on a receiver to tell you that it was a color program. No such animal on any RCA or Zenith that I ever saw or went to school for. It would be a useless item that would cause another manufacturing step that would make the set cost more in manufacturing. Possibly another manufacturer may have done this for a selling point like AFC but this was never a common practice and I don't recall seeing this on any set that I ever serviced. Motorola is one brand that I didn't see often around here and may have had a "color indicator" but if it did, was not used but 1 or 2 years if that was what it was and that was on a tube model.

Are you sure you don't have this confused with that tuning eye Philco used in the late 60's?

If anyone knows of this feature on any RCA or Zenith, I would like to know about it. I have examples of pretty much every RCA and Zenith color sets to 1966 and they don't have it.
