This kind of reminds me when color tv first came on the market (all you
young 'uns out there missed this!).  You could go down to the corner
five and dime (which is now the dollar general store) and buy a device
which gave you instant color tv, even if you had a black & white tv! Even
if the station wasn't transmitting in color!

It was a piece of plastic that you stuck onto your tv screen. It was colored
blue at the top and brown at the bottom. Worked well enough for landscape
shots in westerns, I guess, but gave Miss Kitty a very strange appearance!
