I think there was a discussion some time ago about a color wheel for the 30 inch Dumont. I don't remember if it was ever reallt attemted or not.
Aussie: I believe that a wheel could be used on a prewar set. Actually there was experimentation of mechanical color before the war. If the Col-R-Tel would work on a prewar I do not know. I have no idea how to put something on YouTube- sorry.

Ahh yes, that's right, CBS were experimenting with the colour wheel with their field sequential system as early as 1940, forgot about those experiments.
I hope there will be an experimentation on setting up a large colour wheel for the 30 inch 1951 Dumont Royal Sovereign TV set
http://www.earlytelevision.org/dumont_ra119.html as it would be real cool to see colour pictures out of that great TV set.
