I for one have to agree, especially since I have seen said fresco in person
If this is going to happen, Pete and Bob will stop by on Sat and we'll see what the result is. My hope is that we will all see what RCA had in store for the viewing public back in 1952-ish!

I think intent on the part of the inventors/designers applies here. Just think of how many changes they made to this particular chassis to get what they wanted. It was not a one and done effort. And there is no hope of picking one particular version of this set. They were all failures until it worked. It was an ongoing process to get the CRT to glow in color, and that should be the same here and stop at that point.

Agreed, though there should be one caveat: the developmental chassis was an experiment in what was to be, insomuchas color chassis go. Let's not make any assumtions on what was TO COME, based on what we already know. That would be a mistake. Every evolutionary step beyond what I currently own is still a grand mystery. Nothing is written in stone. That said, I eagerly await the results of a developmental CRT powered by a production CTC-2 chassis. Much fanfare waiting in the wings!
