The only reason B/W sets were recommended was to get your trouble shooting skills up to speed. I have several B/W sets, but if the program is in color, I prefer to see it in color. When I first working on TV's, I never seen a color set, except in the stores and there was seldom anything on in color. The B/W pictures on the color sets didn't compare with the pictures on the B/W sets of the day. I'm surprised that they sold as many sets as they did.

My newest arrival, courtesy of another member here. I’ll post pics of my parts set when I’ve cleared a path to it.

'That's the hi-voltage focus model, HE chassis. Probably that last of the production run. I have two of this model. I didn't change the boost filter caps in my two yet. .1 mfd @ 1000 volts. It's located on the side of the HV cage, instead of the PC board, like the earlier models.

I haven't tried my PC's in a few years. I just fired up one of my later models and it looks pretty good. AFAIC, it's still better than watching B/W. The sound is better than many of the small import solid state sets. |

I like the cabinets on the later ones. Looks like it should be solid state...lol

The CRT was similar, but with a 12v heater. All the 10/11" PortaColors only had a 70 degree sweep, so the tubes were a lot longer. |
