Each of the 2 CRTs looks different. A 625 line color set and an 819 line B&W set in one cabinet?

Hello to all,

Dr Ido, you hit the nail right on the head!

The rationale behind Pizon Bros's dual-screen TV was:

A) a color CRT is expensive, so only use it when there is a program transmitted in color.

B) the color screen's dot structure and difficult convergence render a pretty mediocre picture on 819 lines so it is more logical to use a B&W CRT for 819 lines.

It is interesting to observe that what seemed perfectly logical 30 years ago, can be so puzzling today...

Best Regards
