chromacolor II pics

[sampson159]

just finished up on my zenith chromacolor II remote metal cabinet set.1976 model with the hand unit.crt was a little gassy so i swapped it out for my spare set of the same kind.picture is awesome!this is a garage watcher and will see much use.the only issue is the contrast control has an intermittent problem.it seems to work sometimes ,then it loses contrast and increases when you turn control backwards.limited range of contrast but very watchable and bright. like to fix this issue.overall,set is bright and crisp with typical zenith picture.23v crt,purple label.btw-last pic is my wife.............................
not!

correction.not a chromamcolor II.its labeled a space command set.sorry for confusion

What's the story on those different color crt labels, anyhow? (I would have asked this question a minute or two earlier but got, uh, distracted...)

not sure about labels.seems like the purple label crts are much sharper than the green labels.my chromacolor console has a 25vdmp22 purple label.the other metal cabinet set had a 23v green label tube.it was gassy.maybe someone can chime in and clear this up.
