Arrgh, sorry David, I think I edited your post instead of Quoting it, I don't seem to be able to reverse it, hopefully I didn't lose anything.

Anyhow what I meant to say was:
From what I get after reading the description existing B&W sets would not have been able to receive the incompatible CBS color broadcasts so some manufacturers made sets with the option for a plug in adapter so they wouldn't be obsolete.
They would still have been B&W but able to pick up the color shows in B&W, which the RCA compatible system allowed without any adapters or modifications needed.
