Gee, it's a shame I don't live near the Illinois area Old Tv nut, I would really love to pick your brain more intensely! An old friend of mine who just recently passed was a long time employee and xmtr super for our local CBS afilliate. When I got eat up with the vintage color bug in the 80's, we talked at lenght about the challenge of getting a color signal through those old RCA 25kw coffee cans and on the air. Seems as though there was an issue with dfferential phase distortion that reeked havoc with satisfactory hue reproduction and that it was more apparent on I/Q sets. BTW, was RCA the only man. to try and reintroduce I/Q demods in the 80's and didn't this coincide with their introduction of real comb filters? Shame they didn't have those in "54. Sorry if I'm off thread topic.
