This brings up the question of how many transistors a set can have before it's considered hybrid. Certainly a set like Zenith's 4 tube model is a hybrid, but does a transistor IF strip, or a couple of transistors in the chroma circuit like many late 60's sets have make it a hybrid?
I'm sure that everyone would agree that you need more than just a UHF transistor, SS rectifier for the power supply, and some diodes in the video detector and horizontal oscillator to be a hybrid set. I think that SS signal handling circuits (tuner, IF, chroma/luma circuits) would qualify as hybrid.
