I remember seeing the local news in color at my grandfathers probably around 1968.around 1970 ,I had a used rca ctc5 in my room.purchased for $25 of paper route money from a tv shop I was hanging around.I had heard about round picture tube color TVs and asked about them at the tv shop.next thing I know,the shop owner found a defective one,helped me fix it and I had my1 st color tv.the only household on the block that had a color tv and it was in my room!years later after trade school,I worked for a tv shop and found out it came from there!the boss remembered selling it to the shop i was hanging around at as a kid!he even remembered the name of the owner.I have since forgotten the name unfortunately. I still have that ctc5 with a good crt and flyback.gotta recap it one day. RonL
