Motorola color-TV

[Old1625]

Ah well, may Eastmon go down in the anals of history for coming up with such an alimentary form of color television picture production.

Funny thing is that an offspring of Eastman had purchased a place here near where I live, and did equally corny things--such as to make a stone-bordered pond in their front yard, in a place where no body of water in nature should be... I've driven by it many times, and my head-shaking muscles have had plenty a workout watching this all happen...

I dunno...I guess I'm happier being poor....

I need to save that picture....I've told people about those, and nobody over about 40 years old believes me

back when I was about 10, in 1963, I asked my mom about this color conversion device. She told me it was a POS, always blue on top, always green at the bottom, and always brown in the middle, and it would not make sense on every scene on TV. I could see then that it was a stupid product...

Heard about some early video arcade games where they used colored plastic sheet as filters on a B&W CRT tube face to make it look like color. Of course your only choice was just varying amounts of some fixed color at some specific pixel on the tube.

I remember a totally obnoxious commercial that reminded me how poor our household was. It was a teasy commercial that ran in the '60s that was like "nanny-nanny-goo-goo--stick your head in doo-doo" that went "A color TV, a color TV, an RCA Victor Color TV!--WOW!"

Pooh!

And--oddly enough--I remember a televised ad for Motorola television sets that went "Motorola Tee-Vee" like "Happy Birthday to You!".....

Uh...Right. To much Hulu I guess. My brain is turning to a cottage cheese-like mush
