That mirror in the lid color set was a reverse of the three tube color camera's of the time. It's amazing to think that they made a monster of a set with three picture tubes in it, and thought that somehow they would sell such a monster to the public.....

But I guess those were only for development. I once read about the Commodore 64 and it's development. Before they got all the specialty chips made that computer, in development, was larger than 3 S-100 style IMSAI 8080's... (those were bigger than early VCR's, and maybe 50lbs....)

Anyway, I bet there were lots of ideas that never went very far.....

Now I wanna read about that mechanical color set....
