When you hit a good combination treasure it.

The Europeans chide it as Never Twice the Same Color and with the constant changes to Demodulator circuits/angles, station camera and modulator adjustment practices, and CRT phosphor over the 50s and 60s, they weren't wrong.

Thanks. This is the best summary I've seen of the wild, wild west nature of NTSC over the years. Don't forget the NTSC black level of 7.5 IRE that had no explicit reference in the signal, the extreme variability of that, chroma level and burst phase that occurred in analog cable systems, all contributing to inconsistency.
