Sylvania Saratoga Restoration

[mstaton]

Every time someone here restores a roundie(including me), I'm always amazed at how good the color is. That is an awesome set! Very unusual and hard to find no doubt. Probably wont see another one anytime soon! Good work Nick!

Nice job. Is'nt it amazing that you have to restore a roundy to see what actual color TV looked like... doesn't compare to today's so called hi Def. Apparently there was some truth in "living color" can't wait to see a YouTube when its finished ..

Nick, I have a couple of friendly suggestions now that you have your 21CT55, CT100 and now Sylvania pretty well restored. All cabinet screen shots look great in your web site and VK Forum photos but the active screens are way too small and exposed to excessive room light. This makes it impossible for the full TV cabinet shots to display fine screen detail with VK’s posting pixel limitation. In the case of your latest Sylvania cabinet shot, the 657 X 623 posted resolution produced a 246 width by 198 height screen shot! Any sense of objective fine detail picture quality is therefore impossible to determine. Maybe you could post additional dedicated screen-shots in total darkness and pull-in your camera field so it captures only the full screen with a resolution of at least 1024 by 768 pixel. Also, it would be swell if all quality conscious VK members acquired the “Digital Video Essentials” SD DVD ($9.75 from Amazon ) if they don’t already have it. Members could then compare posted roundy picture quality with other postings using exactly the same original JPG pics at the same camera resolution. Just a thought….Tom
