Overpriced? Zenith in Michigan

[David Roper]

Zenith's 1953 annual report says:

Zenith made the first commercial sale of a compatible color television manufactured under the NTSC standards as approved by the FCC. This Zenith set was purchased by the Chicago Tribune's station, WGN-TV, in 1953.

The 15" Zenith model was actually a 'field test set' that wasn't developed or intended for retail sale. And yes, there are several still in existence, which is more than can be said with any certainty for a number of early color sets that did make it into stores--or were supposed to have.
