Interesting set; thanks for the pictures and descriptions.  The colorama sets are ones I haven't paid too much attention to until a few months ago, and your pictures nicely illustrate how the dial changes color.

Those red and green vinyl sleeves sure add nice color to the bulbs.  Too bad the colored LED replacement bulbs from places like Pinball Life don't seem to come with a screw (type 40) base:
