Default Re: Colour TV in UK in 1966-surely not!!

It makes you realize how advanced the Americans were with both monochrome and color TV technology. They were quite happily watching color TV's in their homes in 1954 on the RCA CT-100 TV chassis with the 15GP22 CRT, well over a decade before most countries had it and more than 6 years before many countries like NZ & AU even had monochrome TV.

Also RCA had made FM sound for TV universal in their TV sets & transmission systems immediately post WW2, but other countries were slow to catch on and persisted with AM sound for TV for quite a while.
