Yaou Colornet All Transistor;
7.5" single-gun! CRT NTSC colour TV, 12 channel VHF tuner, estimated US price at introduction US$ 385,-; US$ 275,- in fall 1965, in fact most probably just a Japanese domestic prototype because of major problems in manufacturing the single-gun index colour CRT (a predecessor of the Sony Trinitron CRT).

The Yaou Colornet TV is described in a 5-page article in Electronics magazine, May 31, 1965.
A 14MB PDF of this issue is available on the American Radio History site,
I believe this model is significant, and that this article should be archived here, but I do not have the PDF tools needed to do that.
