Notes from the Electronic Cottage 10/15/09

Producer/Host: Jim Campbell

Today, as we move toward the Electronic Cottage’s 10th anniversary, we re-listen to an edition from 2000, this one on how to tune a color TV- with a brief digression on the difference between additive and subtractive color.
Back then, all television sets used analog technology so that is what this old program describes.
