Color TV Buyers Guide

[QUOTE=bgadow]Somewhere I saw a great book with photos of early color sets from nearly everybody in the radio/tv business in the early '50s. I'm sure some of those here know the book; some of you guys probably own the very sets pictured. (QUOTE).

I think this is the book Bryan is refering to:

Among the 1957 color models featured are: RCA, ADMIRAL, EMERSON, GENERAL ELECTRIC, HOFFMAN, MAGNAVOX, MOTOROLA, PHILCO, SYLVANIA. All 21" models. The 22" Westinghouse rectangular (2nd from top) is pictured on the cover but not listed. My opinion on why color tv stumbled in the 50's can be found on my site.
