I remember going over to a friends house in '72...they still had a B&W set. His dad said his MIL had a color set and the picture "was simply just awful!". We later went over to the grandmother's house...she was watching a game show...and the picture, indeed, was dreadful. I asked her "if I may, can I adjust your set for you, please?" "Oh, yes!"
I turned the contrast way down, adjusted the color, adjusted the antenna rotor and fine tuning and made a 100% improvement on the picture. She was delighted. I later told the dad to go over and check the picture out. He bought a new color set later that year.
