Jeffhs,

The NY Yankees symbol is just that. I copied it off a baseball web page image file and pasted it into the picture with the RCA colortrack TV. That set was pretty common, RCA made many of them. It featured a comb filter. Also the chroma would track the contrast knob, and there was a room light photocell to sense ambient light and when you turned off the lights at night, the TV would lower the contrast and brightness automatically. This TV also has DC restoration. IIRC (I used to work at the RCA R&D lab in Princeton, these were all Colortrack features). I had to service this TV a few times, a few years ago a connector inside the tuner needed resoldering, and recently the flyback transformer lugs needed to be resoldered to the main circuit board. And I had to tweak a sound trap coil in the IF to get rid of sound/chroma subcarrier beat notes in the picture.
