Hmmm- interesting. I got into early color sets for the same reason people get into British cars- style, certainly not reliability. My first mentor made me SWEAR I'd never leave the room while a CTC7 or earlier was running even for a moment. My CTC4 draws an arc at the drop of a hat. It took me years to build up the courage to tackle it. One slight error in wire dressing- ZAP!

SO I suppose part of it is one's point of view. These sets should probably not have been sold until 1960 is mine. I have vivid memories of our Zenith's flyback in flames even in 1968. Perhaps that prejudiced me.
