It is absolutely correct that our early color sets will not have the brightness of a Plasma set. I still have an RCA CTC-9C in queue. I have gotten a raster after rebuilding the power supply but have more to come. I replaced the CRT with a good used 21CYP22A and have a good bright raster.

Our age is close. I do remember the TV rooms & also audio rooms. At the shop
our sales floor was up front with big windows. The only sets you could really
watch were Zenith Chromacolors & Sony trinitrons. In about 1976 the
Zenith EFL CRT's came out. They could light a room for abt 80 watts !
Well things do change. For the 2 years Studebaker built the Avanti
it was the fastest production car in the world ( with factory Paxton supercharger ). Now tech has left that behind but I would rather have the
real & simple thing.
