CT100 screen shot from Less Paul program

Ok I have reposted the photo. Hope it stays here this time.

It is not an operational CT-100. The Chanel selector isn't illuminated; nobody is going to skimp on a #51 bulb who has a working 15GP22. There is something not right about the volume control, and there's no brightness control around it that I can see anyhow. The cabinet finish is nice. But there's no 15GP22 in that picture. If there were, you'd see its internal decorative mask. I haven't seen the clip, but as was indicated, the image is too bright. Then we have the issue of blue color fringing where the accompanying area of the 'TV' image is white. But let's not bother. That particular Merrill was brought to life with digital magic.

My guess is modern set stuffed inside, the screen looks curved and seems to extend past the masking.

Thanks for re-posting the pix. I missed the original airing of this program and look forward to viewing the repeat. The 3 PBS stations in my area do not list it in their schedules, at least for the next two weeks. As to the image on the CT-100. Perhaps a digital insert, but not, IMO, another tv stuffed into a CT-100 cabinet.

Maybe someone who is a PBS subscriber can inquire as to the fate of the poor, hacked CT-100. I'm still hoping to find an off-air copy of PBS' Television from 1987.

The TV may not have been hacked for this shot. I leant a B&W Motorola set to a company for an ad campain. After the shoot, I got the set back with a video. They had somehow added a color picture to the set's face (which was un-restored but complete) without damaging it.

I recorded "Television" ages ago off WETA in D.C. It's "somewhere" in my unindexed (alas...) collection...
