The 1st color set we had was a rather dreadful Sears oddball 17" or so mini-console...It had a rectangular-ish screeen, Sonny Clutter had one on his site several years ago, it was sposed to be the 1st rectangular set. Anyhow, it would frequently "Tear up" before the Sears repair guy got outta the driveway good...My dad replaced it w/one of the 1st Porta-Colors in fall '65 or early '66...Little guy was a TROUPER...It was on, frequently 12-18 hrs a day, 7 days a week..Say what you will about Porta-Pottys, OURS was tough as nails....We finally replaced it w/a Trinitron in '72 or '73....
