Admiral T1000?

[orthophonic]

Consumer Reports tested that very model in 1964. They said it was important because the 500.00 price barrier had finally been broken (the Admiral was 450.00 ) and this along with more color programming would make color more affordable and practical for more people.
As for the sets performance, they said in color performance it
had the same advantages and limitations as the best RCA & Zenith sets they had tested. Brilliant accurate colors, poor
convengence in the corners, fair interlace and mediocre
black & white performance. CR claimed the limitations
(convergence, mediocre b/w resolution) of all color sets was due to the RCA tri-color tube, and color sets would not improve until a new picture tube was developed.
