I knew someone would ask that. OK, I admit it, they are for three black

I sent my 10" b/w telly for recycling yesterday, so I'd need colour
aerials now.


The TC18s will be colour. The TC stood for truecolour.

I installed one (used but VGC) outside last year, it was bought for my father
(and loft mounted) in 1971ish. It gets all the required digital muxes in
color and even has an inverse(pat.) balun.

The classic set for modification was the Bush TV53. I got a good BBC2
picture on one but IIRC never tackled the sound.

I modified a TV56 (17" version of the TV53) but ended up fitting a
transistorised dual standard IF strip and tuner. It served me well until I
invested in colour.

Well a house that I could have bought in 1971 for £1,800 is now worht bout
£200,000.

That makes the whole £1 of 1971 now worth about 2.4d

Does that mean I can trade in my 3d bits for 12 p apiece?
Who's doing the deal?

Silver or brass?

Or you could use three B&W aerials, appropriately painted, for the R,
G and B information. But you need the special paint, of which I am the
sole supplier.

Didn't they used to colour code aerials (with stickers on the terminal box) for
their respective groups?

They still do. Often the colour of the plastic end plug on the boom will
tell you.

When I started work at PYE TVT I first saw what 625 line could do!,
amazed at how good it was but of course with the Neg going modulation it
did seem less vibrant than what the Pos 405 line did but the detail was
astounding for those times!.

Until they added colour of course. For some years during the introduction
of colour, my TV was a Rank Cintel monochrome studio monitor connected to
a home-built tuner, and the detail was noticeably better when there was no
colour. Some black and white movies looked superb on this setup, and never
as good again on any colour display I've used since.

Rod.

I don't doubt that the definition was better than a domestic TV but
IMHO the thing that would have set the studio monitor apart from a TV
is it's ability to maintain a proper black level.

I can only think of one mono TV that I dealt with regularly that gave
a reasonable account of itself in that respect, and it was a Decca,
chassis number long forgotten.

Most other mono sets made little or no effort in providing black level
clamping or simple DC restoration, and the mean-level AGC system often
used also conspired to the same end.
