FADA 15 Inch Color Set

Early Television

Was this set ever produced and sold, or was it only a prototype?

Comment from Pete Deksnis: This image began as a photograph, but was greatly retouched. Notice the shadow cast by the 'set' (left side of photo) but the chair does not cast a similar shadow on the set (right side). 'Photoshopping' back then was done by a skilled artist with an airbrush and other manual stuff; it's usually pretty easy to spot such retouching today, but less so back then when it was viewed as a halftone on a printed page.
