Response to early color

 

Oh yes- the CBS field-sequence system was the official color system for the US between 1950-53 and I'm sure some sets were made although probably not many. It was certainly a poor system and one of many dumb decisions the FCC has made over the years. Fortunately they came to their senses and changed to the RCA multiplex system in 1953. CBS was so bitter about this though they refused to use the RCA system and broadcast color for 12 years.
