Restoring a RCA 21CT55

Some things to worry aboyt using SLRs.

First, focus and saturation. The cameras will generally resolve the
individual dots on a color CRT. This means that using autoexposure, which
generally goes for average brightness, the brightest dots will very often overload,
ruining color rendition in highlights. To avoid this, underexpose or use manual focus
so the dots are just barely out of focus.

Color balance is as you notice a problem. By choosing a setting you may be
able to find one that looks OK. Otherwise, if you camera can save as "raw" files,
you can correct perfectly in software. That's what I do.
