Sometime in 1955 or 1956 at the Museum of Science. They had a lounge
with a color TV, with a transparent cabinet, so that the innards were
visible. I wasn't very impressed. The colors weren't very good for
the most part, and I think they hadn't quite figured out how to do
studio lighting for color, either. But the view of the NBC Peacock
was awesome.
