Not everyone agrees with me, but it is my belief that if you had a fist-full of dollars you could have commercially purchased the Admiral. Or soon thereafter the Westinghouse. Where I insist upon RCA being first, even though production did not begin until late March 1954, is in the true-production quantity argument:
Where millions and millions of b&w sets were manufactured by then, an unknown pilot production run of a few sets, even if it were a few hundred in the case of Westinghouse, does not override the true production run by RCA in Bloomington of over four thousand CT-100's. I believe it is RCA that deserves the credit for producing the first 'production' NTSC color television set.
