Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another slow day…just waitin’ until the colds go away and Sue’s neck gets back to normal..\u00a0 We are off to the the carotid artery surgeon on Wednesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While doing some errands, I listed to Rush and just had to get this picture for my site…so true!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So very true,,,Time are scary when the looney-left gets unhinged!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I planted potatoes today and watered the back forty.\u00a0 While sitting in the garage, admiring my little shop, I did put an in-line switch into the overhead lights so I could turn them on-off easier. I should have done that months ago!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My next toy is coming Thursday, an all-new Echo Show (2nd Generation) – Premium sound and a vibrant 10.1″ HD screen.\u00a0 Sometimes when I am at my desk, I will call up YouTube movies or even NetFlix features and watch when while I work on lap top!\u00a0 The older version will probably get relegated either to the bedroom or the shop.\u00a0 The bedroom because I can ask Alexa to pull up the security cameras instantly should we hear anything or the shop\/garage so I can pull up any youtube video to explain some repair or other tool activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sue worked magic with the last of the leftovers so we had Mexican, Greek, Mediterranean, and French cheese combo for lunch…one word…FANTASTIC!!!<\/p>\n\n\n

Did You Know?\u00a0<\/em> Mom and Dad got a new color TV in 1954 and I had no idea what that cost until recently.\u00a0 The RCA Victor model CTC-100 was $1000.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There is a reason for the amazing Technicolor-like picture of the CT-100. The CT-100’s shadow mask CRT used color phosphors with correct chromaticity corresponding to the NTSC standard. The red and green of the CT-100 is more rich and saturated than the orange-red and yellow-green of modern sets. This results in the larger color gamut of the CT-100. The CT-100’s 15GP22 color kinescope provided a rounded side 11 1\/2-inch wide by 8 5\/8-inch high picture with an area of approximately 100 square inches. A planar shadow mask and flat phosphor screen with decorative mask were suspended inside the round glass envelope. CBS Hytron would later develop the technique to manufacture a curved shadow mask and to deposit color phosphor dots directly on the inside of the face plate. With its 45-degree deflection angle the CRT was 26-inches long. The 15GP22 used electrostatic convergence and required external customer static convergence and focus adjustment knobs on the left side of the cabinet.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

The CT-100, with a 16-position turret tuner, could receive any combination of VHF and UHF channels and provided a 45.75 MHz picture and 41.25 MHz sound IF output. Seven IF stages were used to minimize amplitude and phase distortion over the 4.5 MHz bandwidth. A conventional horizontal “SynchroGuide” provided horizontal sync and drove a 6CD6 output tube. The high voltage power provided 19,500 volts to the CRT by use of a 3A3 rectifier and 6BD4 shunt regulator. The set consumed 475 watts.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

It was a real “Boat Anchor:<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In the afternoon we rested trying to make sure ALL the cold goes away.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We got spruced up and departed for Malany’s to meet up with Irene.\u00a0 Mitch was going to join us but he also fell to the strflue…we are dripping like flies!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We returned home and hit the ol’ silver screen…we watched some TV before retiring at 11:30 PM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
