This was the last color prototype before the introduction of the RCA CT-100 consumer color set introduced in March, 1954. The 2nd Model 5 in Milwaukee that day was located at the WTMJ studios. Model 5 pictured on left. CT-100 on the right.

Steve,
The previous day on December 31, 1953, the Milwaukee Journal reported that there were at least nine RCA prototype sets in Milwaukee for the Rose Parade color telecast. Four private showings and the one public showing at American Appliance & TV.
