The CBS system is vastly superior to the Col-R-Tel or Colordaptor. It's simply much easier to get CBS color on a set than it is to get a Colordaptor working. I've tried both; my Colordaptor chassis is in a box of scrap, my 630TS has been modified for CBS rates and works flawlessly.

Any pictures you can post here? I'd love to see what your CBS-630TS looks like.

Also, if anyone wants tips and hints for converting a B&W NTSC set for use with a Colordaptor, I can provide that information. You can also purchase an inexpensive NTSC color converter unit from Aurora so you don't have to build or rebuild a Colordaptor chassis. You can build a color wheel with stage lighting gel that costs around $6 per sheet. Glad to help anyone who wants to build a color wheel set so you can see for yourself how great they look.
