Here's a translation of his reply:
"My grandfather ( who is still alive ) was in the USA in 1954, and saw the Rose Parade in a CT-100 in a hotel. He was so impressed that he decided that he would buy one and bring it to Brazil. When he arrived he even had a party at his home, to celebrate the "inauguration" of color TV. He was very disappointed, however, for the TV would only show colored snow and regular black and white pictures.

Yes, dear Captain Video, i forgot about this story, but i was too happy for the brazilian CT - 100.
Was the "color - killer" working when that set showed a "colored snow"?
