[GreenKeys] Slightly OT: Colour TV

[Cory Heisterkamp]

And for those interested in seeing a working 1954 RCA CT-100, as well as a
demo of the CBS color wheel system, and lots of other engineering
prototypes and restored sets, the annual Early Television Museum's
convention, show and auction is coming up in May (Hilliard, OH). Plus some
excellent technical presentations.

The biggest problem with the 15GP22 CRT is that it relies on a glass to
metal to glass bond and 50 years later, most have gone to air, so while
there are still some functioning '54 sets, it's unclear how long they'll
remain that way. A google search will turn up the work that's been done the
last 10 years to try to solve the problem. -C
