Red Skelton in Color--1962

[dtvmcdonald]

There was absolutely nothing wrong with the color from TK41s. On a properly
adjusted TV or monitor they really were not very different from today so long as there was enough light. Where I lived we had live color shows every day, starting in 1955.
I was in the studio audience for some kiddie's shows ... the colors on the
visible monitor (15GP22) were quite accurate ... nobody expected otherwise. I was even then old enough to adjust my uncle's CT-100 so that they were just as good (he had lots of signal, being one mile from the transmitter.)

All Plumbicons were noted for was no halos in too-low light. And, of course, that they were easier to adjust to get right!
