This is the highlight of the convention. Pete Dexnis and others have been collaborating lately via email and massive research to determine what the original CT100 was capable of reproducing. Old RCA documents have been scoured over and many questions have been asked and answered in this search.

Pete has built an original RCA design composite video adaptor which would inject pure video in to a CT100 after the RF tuner and did this installation on his chassis. Add this to his tuned-up chassis and mate it with a ETF new-old-stock 15GP22 they acquired, you have one of the most accurate and brightest CT100 sets available to display. So much like what stations and network did to view color in their plants with this set.

This particular set and CRT shows some ringing on the left side of the picture. We are not sure of the problem, but the resulting color was enough to ignore any set or yoke problem. It also had a bit of purity problems on the upper right of the CRT that would not go away. None of this distracted from the Technicolor-like picture that was on the screen.

12-This is part-way through the NBC peacock DVD on the CT100 screen.

13-This is the complete NBC peacock on the CT100 screen.

14-This is a view of the Robin Hood Technicolor feature. The blues and greens are so brilliant and separated in to their individual hues.
