Feature: The First (Affordable) Color Television Set from 1954 - with Video

Priced at just $1,000 in 1954 -- affordable when compared to the $1,295 Westinghouse, the RCA CT-100 was an early production receiver offered in NTSC color. At the time, picture tube production was very expensive so RCA lost money on each set sold, but they quickly recouped their losses as newer models were released. Video after the break.
