My first experience was in the early 60s. My Mom worked at a large department store in Downtown Atlanta. I would often hang out there in the summers. They had a lot of RCA models. I would guess that they were either CTC-7s or CTC-9s. The salesmen caught on quickly that I had some knowledge about color TVs and let me "play around" with them. I could usually get them better adjusted that the salesmen. I loved particularly seeing the tiny phosphor trios and how thay made the whole gamut of colors. About 2 years later, my Dad's boss invited us to see Bonanza on his new color TV, definitely a CTC-9. He was close to the transmitter, so the signal was great. My family finally got a color TV in 1966, a 25" rectangular Zenith.
