Thanks for your answers, guys. I think my favorite comment was Pete's talking about guest being over and turning on the set for them...
Doesn’t matter if they want to or not. They see it either way.
Something else Pete talks about... using the CT100 only for color programs and using a B&W for others... there's something I never considered. i suppose if you were able to afford a color set in '54, you could also afford to also have a B&W set with a larger screen. Would make perfect sense to have the B&W... non-color shows could be viewed on a 21" or larger screen instead of the 15" screen. Probably helped keeping repair cost down on the color set.
I wonder if this might have been a common practice among early color owners?
