Yes but would there have been any electronic alternative besides the tri-color tube? I mean they are still selling them now, if something cheaper AND better than the color kinescope had come along wouldn't we have seen it by now after 51 years? So IMO even if CBS had gotten rid of the color drums or wheels, it would have just been another version of RCA's with it's own drawbacks, plus the non-compatability issue. I think the farther you get from 1954, the better RCA's system looked compared to CBS....Frenchy
