I find it interesting too that in the years I worked at the shop '75 to '85 in Boulder, CO I had also never heard of a RCA CT100 or a 15GP22 either. We were factory sales and service for RCA, Zenith, and Sony. I saw the beginning of Betamax and VHS and even the failure of the Selectavision. Was an exciting time. We had a Sony LV1901 on the showroom floor. One of the owners bought one of them. What a cool thing that was for a sixteen year old back then. I remember changing many a Zenith safety capacitor and the triplets in the vertical CCII chassis. I don't ever remember a Westinghouse brand set Color or B/W ever coming in the shop in the 10 years I worked there. I wish I could go back in time and get the Sony KV-7010UA we had that literally sat for years unrepaired or fixed. I didn't know any better then. Marshall, thanks for sharing this very interesting bit of tv history with us all.
