Thank you.

A few shots to show the dot structure. Not nearly as bad as the first generation Porta Color. Pinch out the images to enlarge.

Marshall, that is so cool to see those images. It still amazes me that America had this kind of technology back in the mid ‘50’s. Thanks so much for sharing these images. If only young people today could realize what we once had here in our great country before everything was BPC era.

Never imagined a 67 year color television capable of these images. All credit to Mike Doyle in his restoration efforts, alignment, etc.

This high contrast image under bright theatrical lighting and full stage makeup from the 1948 three strip Technicolor film, The Red Shoes. This was enlarged about 100% to fill in my iPad Pro 2 10.5 screen without the image masked. P3 color space.

I’ll take credit for the cabinet restoration.

Enjoying the set and it’s been operating flawlessly. The tuner is rock solid with no drift. I don’t need to adjust color controls. They lock in about 10 minutes. Coming up on the two year anniversary since completed restoration on September 30, 2019. Will shoot some shots then.
