Re: Early Colour TV's. Were they produced in the UK?
The Combi-color was an odd beast. When you dug a bit deeper it did appear to be quite different from the CVC5, and not only in the line output section. I wondered how much influence the German parent of ITT had in the development of the CVC5 series as it was quite unlike anything ITT-KB had made before in the UK. Mind you, any form of PCB would have been radical to them!
I was always amazed at how little more a B&O 3000 series cost over (say) a single-standard GEC or Decca of the time. No offence to those designs, but you did get a lot more TV for your money.
