First solid state color tv set

Aside from the rectifier the Motorola certainly won...when did they start using those solid state plug-in rectifiers? I'm pretty sure Sylvania had a solid state set on the market before the sixties were out but after the RCA.

GE also made a solid state high voltage rectifier. It was a big black thing that sorta looked like a tube. I pulled one out of a rca set thinking it was the wrong part.
