Amazing! Many thanks for sharing! Some folks might see that picture and shrug their shoulders or laugh, but not the bunch of guys who hang out here! Wow!

I did a bit of that myself ! It can only get better... I hope!

Thanks for all the good comments !!

One of the corner mount spacers for the CRT was missing, so I spent some time today fabricating a replacement. I want the CRT to be mounted nice and solid before I try to rotate the yoke to its proper position.

Wow Jr! That's great! You certainly have most of it licked... a good CRT, light on the screen, and video!

My father often laughs and shakes his head when I get excited about bringing a set back to life. I could only imagine his comments if he were to realize several of us from all over the country and rest of the world were tuning in to witness the re-birth of this one particular "old television"

Hey jr.

I'm really delighted that you are taking such care with this rare gem. In going back over the previous posts, I noticed, in your first posted pix. on the left, what appears to be two small holes drilled into the lower right portion of the mask. Are these actual holes or just some dirt trapped behind the safety glass? If they are holes, pehaps a logo, indicating "COLOR" was inserted there?

Just pure speculation on my part.

Thanks again folks!

Got the yoke turned without breaking the neck off or anything* and took another picture... looks a little better, but I think that no color info is getting to the tube, the color differences seen are likely differences in drive levels/tracking of the 3 guns. I have made no adjustments other than turn the yoke to its proper position.

Steve D... the "holes" are just little dust bunnies. I remember seeing several of the 21" round tube (cyp?) versions of this set, and they did not have a color logo either.

*did that once to a 21AXP22... had to change my shorts!

That is the coolest set I have ever seen. The convergence does not look that bad either.
Wow.
