I was digging around myself tonight and came across a blurb from a trade magazine from about '66 mentioning the same thing as one of these, about a simpler color crt from GE. This article was a little later and had the details: they were talking about the portacolor crt, which was simpler by virtue of using the inline gun.
I can play along with all this to a point. Okay...convergence boards varied somewhat from model to model. I would start comparing Sams for RCA sets and their GE counterparts and see what the differences were, and look at the convergence boards and see if they differed significantly. I am not a conspiracy theorist-I would say I am a skeptic. I see no harm, in this case, with helping out those who want to play with it. I have a pile of old paperwork and it's enjoyable to leaf through it anyway, so if I can find something why not share it. I was contacted by someone else privately regarding this whole thing and have offered them some suggestions.
