Where's the like button when you need it?
Seriously, the work done bringing that chassis back to life is the most awesome early color accomplishment since CBS Color pictures were seen again in 2004.

CPA, ETF?
For those of us who don't know what you're talking about, how about a link or something? The idea is that you want to spread the word to others in Internetland instead of the 5 people who know what you're talking about. I assume it's the old CBS color wheel? Help a guy out. Thanks.

Steve, you need to start here:
http://videokarma.org/showthread.php...ight=prototype This is a Prototype chassis and tube purchased from Harry Poster. The short of it is this was an RCA Prototype made in the early 50's, one of the Ancestors of every Color TV that followed for the next 50 years. The ETF is The Early Television Foundation, run by Steve McVoy, their mission is to preserve stuff like this. http://www.earlytelevision.org/index.html The page for this set: http://www.earlytelevision.org/rca_cpa_restoration.html

Thanks to both of you for your persistence and dedication to this project. It looks as if the long dormant developmental chassis is back to life with a decent color picture. Amazing.
