I remember my wife helping me carry in the new prototypes. The one I ended up with was a production model. I still do have a DLP set with a big red "NOT FOR SALE" label. Designing TVs was a fun job.

Ijust bet i have talked before with you on rca's tech line.

They never let the design engineers talk to anyone in the field. We had to train the factory service guys in Indianapolis. Would have been fun to go out into the field.
