Early color in Mexico
The first color broadcasting started in Mexico in 1963?
What was the main brand that salled color sets in Mexico?

There were earlier late 1950s experimental two-color broadcasts in Mexicao City using color wheels in front of the B&W studio cameras and modified NTSC color sets that switched between red and blue/green in sync with the camera wheels.
A sort of hybrid version of field sequential color. There are previous posts about these experimental broadcasts on this forum from several years ago. Search for "Mexican Color'.

As far as I know, most all TVs in Mexico are American sets, with maybe a few Japanese-built European branded sets from South America (i.e. National, Grundig, etc). I saw a ton of used Curtis-Mathes black & white sets in Tijuana in the 80s. Even a converted coin-op Curtis-Mathes 23" B&W at the bus terminal.
Until very recently, Mexican brokers would scour Southern California TV repair shops for repairable used TVs, and would take them to Mexico where they're still worth repairing for resale. They'd come in a 30-ft box van, and fill it with a few hundred sets at $10/TV. Charles

We had a discussion last year, I think it was regarding a later Muntz color set. There was a company called something like TMA (Television Manufacturers of America?) that made very cheap tv color tv sets for a time, and they were made in Mexico. I think this was very late 60s/early 70s. I haven't seen much info on them. Of course, by late in the 70s Zenith was building sets there.
