It looks a lot more real now.

Although not exactly relevant here... this does pose questions as to how accurate CBS field sequential color was during the various field trials and tests and during the the short period of the CBS system in 1951 and the later CBS system used to generate NTSC color from their field sequential cameras.

Eye witness accounts say the color on the CBS system was very good - and it was consistent, while the system from RCA was struggling with color sync and stability in general.

Those are amazing pictures, Marshall. Gone with the wind but I love the ending where Rhett Butler dumps her. I always thought Scarlet was a vixen. Hope your enjoying a set now with a very rare working 15GP22.

Thank you John. Here are two pics showing my restoration of the cabinet. I buffed out the brass trim strips, but they easily retain fingerprints from handling. The cabinet piece is okay. I need to rebuff and find some sort of clear coat to apply on the brass.

A little back and forth from me and Mike tonight.

What is the model of the Sony projector hanging from the ceiling?

At the risk of going off topic, it’s a VPL-VW385ES HDR DCI 4K SXRD. Long winded description. :-) Here, the front view of my media room. The color consoles are in back.

I agree with Wayne. Here, a few screenshots published in a photography magazine, February, 1951.

It's not my opinion, but eyewitness reports from my old boss at Zenith, who was involved with Zenith's work building console monitors for CBS, like this one:

An excellent dissertation on the development of field sequential and NTSC television.

Wow, l still enjoy seeing the beautiful color pictures that a 15GP22, is capable of producing! Looks really good!

Do you have a color bar pattern (and/or any other test patterns) you could take a pic of in its present tweaked-up condition?
