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.
