The color looking funny could simply be due to the camera. Depending on the lighting in the room, it is often difficult to get a good picture of one of these roundies operating. It might also be due to a cheaper camera.

In my experience, it seems that many photos of the screen turn out looking somewhat blue... although looking at the screen live will have perfect color. Pictures of b&w screens often turn out with a blue tint as well.

In my old camera, there is a setting for the white balance... choices are automatic, indoor, and outdoor. Usually, it's always on automatic. I've learned that while taking photos of operating sets, changing this setting to indoor helps a lot in making screen shots look more natural.

That's a nice looking set... looks like someone will be getting a nice addition to their collection!

Where is Jonathon? He was wanting an early RCA... and this one is not too far from him.

Nice set, but I'm guessing it'll go past $500 or close to it... It's probably in perfect condition.

Ah-hah! So, that ebay seller was own of our own!

Kirk, that's an awesome looking shot on those three sets with the NBC peacock! Breath-taking! Those sets kick ass! And they keep that room warm, too!

Yep, some folks use a hair dryer or a toaster oven to burn a thousand watts. But this, yeah, this is a way to burn a thousand watts!

LOL...
I tried to 7 of them one time and had to use two circuits...

The source of the peacock is a VHS tape. The peacock is included in the beginning of a "Best of Johnny Carson" video. It is a short segment, so I copied it about 30 times so that is repeats.
