Obituaries touting the death of NTSC television may be premature.

Hi folks:

from the New York Times:

... At the same time, in the face of an F.C.C. edict that will
terminate all analog broadcasting in 2009 — the so-called
“analog sunset” — a wild bunch of television fans are also
insisting on a retro aesthetic: old color shows on old color
sets. Those who appreciated the turquoise and lipstick red of
the early sets, which used different phosphors than later color
televisions, have clustered online. On YouTube, a poster called
TeslaMaster has gone so far as to upload a video of a restored
1956 RCA television showing an episode of “Bonanza.” One catch:
the online video is, of course, digitized; to catch “Gunsmoke”
or “Bonanza” as they would have appeared in the 1950s, you’ll
need to restore an old RCA set yourself. ...
