early color wanna be's

[oldtvman]

I see some of the older sets popping up from time to time like Philco-fords, Motorola and Admirals. Those sets were never able to produce the color quality of the Zenith's or Rca's. The sets I'm speaking of were sets of their own design. The Motorola's always had a soft picture and orangey red's. The Admirals were somewhat worse than the Motorola's as far as color reproduction. The Philco-Fords again had trouble reproducing accurate color. I guess most people wouldn't really see the difference but for us tech's the differences were pretty striking.
