Thank you Dave for giving me the opportunity to own this incredible contraption. I've been looking it over and although not the next in line to be restored, I'm already formulating my plan of attack. I think this one's going to be a lot of fun (and time). I can't believe the size of this thing! It almost comes up to my chest and I stand 6' tall. I'm also looking forward to working on the tape deck. I spent almost 30 years repairing all kinds of tape units, but I don't think I ever came across this particular machine. I always like working on something new and different. This DuMont is going to be an interesting and educational experience. Thank you Dave for making it happen.
Clif, this whole color wheel discussion has me intrigued, but I have to plead ignorance about the whole thing, except for the basics. The color wheel idea was all just a little before my time.
What's involved to construct a "color wheel", and how does it work? Would it be practical to construct one large enough for this set? I assume it would sit on top of the TV cabinet? How expensive it something like this? How well might it be expected to work?
Thanks for the information.....
Bob
