Wow. Give me more photos!

I didn't even bother. Since the only way the clowns, er.. Browns are ever going to get there is to buy tickets. Anyhoo, the Philco with the ColorTel is cool. Did anyone use CBS color to watch the game?

The photos which are here

are the early restoration pics of the set displaying the NFL picture.

I got the Col-R-Tel unit in August, 1960, and originally installed it
on a Pilot TV-125. It has been installed on other sets over the years including a 14 inch broadcast monitor. Last year I decided to get it out of storage and make it work again, this time on the Philco, a set which seems to be the favorite for this conversion by those who know.

There is still much to do both cosmetically and electronically, but I had
a great time making it work well enough so I could watch the game on it.

I also built a solid state NTSC field sequential set from scratch about 5 years ago which is displayed on the Jim Hawes Mechanical TV website here http://www.hawestv.com/mtv_slides/benhamA.htm?

This set is a sort of test bed for my color wheel experiments and it changes
monthly depending on the new ideas I want to try. One I'd like to try is 'two-color' television as discussed in the 'Simplified Mexican Color' thread in the Audiokarma 'Early Color' section.
