US "Roundie" Color TVs in France

[jhalphen]

Good day Gentlemen,

I am an American living in Paris (sorry guys, not Gene Kelly).

I'm 53 and fell in love with Color in the late 50s in America.

I own a working (Yes working !) CT-100, courtesy of Terry whom you all know (Thanks! Terry; Bless his soul)

I have encouraged other friends, whose childhoold dream has also been to own a US roundie to make it come true.

So far, Me (Jerome), Wilfrid, Christopher and Jean-François have made the effort to purchase and bring overseas (5000 miles) these fine US receivers.

Please don't piss on us and greet us as fellow collectors who have the same passion as you do to preserve witnessess of past technologies & make them work again.

We use SECAM/PAL ---> NTSC standards converters, Worldwide DVD players with NTSC modulators and (in my case, full NTSC transmitters) to operate the TVs "like in America".

Gentlemen, please respect fellow collectors who are still in awe, 60 years later, that Color TV came from America 15 years before Europe. We are are a world-wide community with a common passion. Please Welcome ! us and let information flow both ways about our common interest.

Best Regards
