By Linda Massarella, Ventura County Star, Calif. Knight Ridder/Tribune Business News ... Mar. 18--It's been 50 years this month since RCA Victor's first color television set, the CT-100, was rolled out to a skeptical America. With a staggering price tag of $1,000 -- or $6,884 in today's dollars -- and a technology hardly anyone believed would go very far, only a few thousand were sold. If they only knew. K.C. Staples, the 41-year-old owner of Record Outlet in Thousand Oaks and a big buff of collectible TVs, remembers back when he was a kid and he thought he saw a CT-100 at a thrift store. "That's the only time I may have seen one, and I'll probably never see one again," he said. "There are only 97 left in the world and 24 are operational. That's it. I saw one on eBay once but they wanted something like $5,000 for it." The set, encased in a handsome wooden cabinet with latticework speaker cloth, came with a 15-inch screen and a shadow mask CRT, or a perforated metal sheet inside a color monitor with a cathode-ray tube, which used color phosphors with correct chromaticity. With a 16-position turret tuner, the CT-100 used a complex 36-tube chassis that used wideband I and Q color demodulation for higher color resolution. In other words, it was state of the art. Ron Simon, a curator with the Museum of Radio and Television, agrees it was a stunning innovation that, for a variety of reasons, took over a decade to take off. "There was no reason to have a color television," he said, "except to be the first person on the block." Simon said that with the exception of NBC, which developed the color broadcasting system but nonetheless aired only 68 hours of color programming in 1954, networks didn't want anything to do with it. "ABC was underfunded and couldn't afford it," Simon said. "Think about it: The most popular show on television in the early 1960s, the 'Ed Sullivan Show,' was still transmitting in black and white. "We all saw the Beatles in 1964 in black and white. That tells you color television wasn't something you had to have." Staples, meanwhile, may not have a CT-100, but he does claim to having some of the oldest television sets in Ventura County. Collecting old TVs, radios and recording equipment is a hobby the record store owner -- who says he has a "degree in obsolete technology" -- has had all his life. In the living room of his Fillmore home, his children watch their favorite shows on a 1960 RCA Victor color CTC-10 that works perfectly, but it still takes the old standard 30 seconds to heat up. It has even been converted for use with a PlayStation. Rarer still is a color 1956 RCA Victor CTC-5 that's in Staples' den. It was the first television with a 21-inch picture screen. After Staples tinkered with the old wires for hours and replaced the long-worn picture tube -- which was half-metal, half-glass because the technology to produce a sheet of 21-inch glass tubing didn't exist at the time -- the television works perfectly. It's not just color sets that Staples collects: He's also got a 1953 Packard Bell and a 1949 Philco built into a deco console. The most impressive piece in his black-and-white collection, however, is a 1956 Philco Predicta, an extremely rare, space-age-looking set that resembles a green antique iMac and still works. "The Predicta was designed by a woman and it was a flop at the time," he explained. "Now it's very collectible." Staples isn't the only family member attracted by television: His sister is Ellen Muth, star of the Showtime series "Dead Like Me." She got her start playing the young girl in the Stephen King film "Dolores Claiborne." "We like watching TV, especially if Ellen's on," Staples said.
