I think someone at Westinghouse corporate made a very seriously bad decission back when this set was developed. The decission to scrap this color tube design and get out of color back then very likely allowed RCA to continue monopolizing the color market with roundies for years to come.

If Westinghouse had stayed the course they very likely could have taken the lead away form RCA back then, or at least prospered greatly from design royalties from this tube design.

I think it is likely that the developement of rectangular color crt's was delayed for years, while other manufacturers waited for the design patents that Westinghouse no doubt had on this tube, to expire.

What a major strategic error Westinghouse made back then to drop the production of this color tube.

The pictures you posted are nothing short of astounding Steve. FANTASTIC JOB!
