The only GE that didn't use it was a IIRC the CA model, RCA semi-clone. If that the one I'm thinking about, the original GE service manual shows the color board as RCA design, including their artwork. The 1957 GE color set, IIRC 21CL500 with the "L" shaped chassis and three 5U4's had a compression trimmer tint control as part of the front operating controls. That one also used the Victoreen HV regulator. |

I saw the GE then. That cabinet seems very large compared to the other 15" models. Ask Bob G. if he remembers getting John Folsom's Admiral out of that upper flat in Sheboygan. That was fun too! |

GE wasnt done with tint control hijinks. Most of there sets
the tint works the opposite of all other sets. They also reversed the brite & contrast functions on a few. The PC II & that dog 16" set IIRC. And to rub it in my GE range has the UP arrow on the left & the DOWN arrow on the right. Go figure........ 73 Zeno LFOD ! |

Here's a photo of the ADmiral sitting in my van after we exhumed it from the hoard house.

The practical reasons why the hue control should have been on the front are variations in burst phase from the broadcaster and the fact that people with normal color discrimination can have a difference in sensitivity to the red and green NTSC primaries (up to +/- 20% worst case according to an early RCA paper). |

At least, we didn't have to call the Medical Examiner. Not much changed in that place, since then. |

GE also sold some early 60s color sets, using RCA chassis, the CW and CX. The CW was similar to the CTC11, and the CX was fairly close to the CTC12. I trained on one of those in the early 1970s.
