Color Television was disappointing when first introduced?

Still no scanner here at my place, but these snapshots of the bulletin should be better than nothing. That little bit at the bottom was all it had on the HE chassis.

I have 3 Porta-Colors, all pictured on one thread or another. One is an early model, the others are twins from about 1974. Like an All-American Five radio, their simplicity is a curse & a blessing. The performance isn't great but they DO work; & since there is not much to them, there is not much to break. The Porta-Color, to me, embodies everything General Electric was/is about.
