- Steve McVoy's Early Television Museum in Hilliard, Ohio is worth the trip from anywhere to see the most amazing collection of historic television cameras and receivers anywhere. He even has a color mechanical TV display based on spinning mirrors and concepts developed in the 1920's. He has pre WWII sets with mirrors in the lids and the CRTs facing up. He has a whole section devoted to early color TV from before 1958 with many great looking early color sets, many of them functioning. He has a Dumont B&W TV from 1950 with an enormous 30" screen that works and is amazing to see. It goes on and on. I visited the museum a few weeks back while traveling through the Columbus area on a business trip. Steve is a good guy and deserves more visits from TIGers. His webpages are here: http://www.earlytelevision.org/
- Wayne Bretl's pages are full of useful info on colorimetry and televison history: http://www.bretl.com/
- Pete Deksnis has some pages devoted to his unending quest to restore the earliest color TV sets mass marketed in this country, the CT-100 made by RCA in early 1954: http://home.att.net/~pldexnis/
- The website you referred to is maintained by Ed Reitan who used to live in Westwood, CA but he has moved back to Omaha recently. Ed is an interesting guy who has a storehouse of info on the history of early color TV. He had some amazing old TV gear in his apartment in Westwood including a TK 41 camera and several early color sets from the mid 1950's. His webpages are here as you posted before: http://www.novia.net~ereitan/
