I'm not sure if it was me or the design of those sets, though.

I worked on one of the first models of the Admiral 12" set, USA built, CA 1968/69. Like all the earlier small screen, low focus voltage CRT's, when new had a fair-to-great picture. Most didn't age gracefully. Focus suffered as they aged. Admiral used their own CRT's, which weren't that great to begin with.
