Homemade Color Wheel TV

[Steve K]

I have been debating for some time if I was going to post one of my latest projects on this site in fear of all of you thinking I was completely nuts but seeing that there is this new section I figured what the heck.

After seeing a working color wheel TV at Steve McVoy's museum I wondered if I could build one. I have been planning to do this for some time but never thought that they would really work. Here are some pictures of my attempt. I made the color wheel from two thin pieces of Plexiglas with the filters in between. The TV is an old Coronado. The converter chassis I built from plans in a 1956 Radio Electronics magazine. Steve has given me a lot of advise and encouragement but I do not have it working yet. Lately I have been too busy with other things to work on it but hopefully I can get back to it soon.
