14 inch RCA Cathode Ray Tube to be used in conjunction with 'Colortel' mechanical colour adaptor. Made by RCA, USA, c. 1955. Part of the Donald Fleming Collection of North American television receivers. The Colortel adaptor could be fitted onto the front of the monochrome television set to convert NTSC-compatible monchrome set to colour using a field sequential disc. This RCA Radiotron CRT Tube is believed to have been included to swap out with the standard and brighter 24 inch tube in the monochrome television to prevent screen burn when using the ‘Colortel,’ which focussed the bright and colourful images on a small section of the screen.
