Trinescope, could you post photos of the set? Wayne, thanks for posting the flyer for the set. Would I ever love to find one of those!

Hey Trinescope, if you are coming to the ETF convention, you should bring it along, I know we would all love to see it.

Thanks all!

Here are a few pictures of the set in question. I was just fooling around with video from my computer fed into an RF modulator for the screen shots.

Super! What adjustments are there for convergence/registration? Electrical? Mechanical? Both?

It looks like viewing a Philco Safari 2" set. Small tube(s) buried deep and looking large when viewed up close. Gotta have one.

A very cool set but it looks like a microwave sitting on a window air conditioner.

Convergence is both electrical and mechanical. The blue CRT is the reference; there are individual height, width, centering, and linearity adjustments for red and green. Also, there are magnets on the red and green CRTs for fine adjusting on the sides and corners. The set does display a bright picture like the brochure says, but is really finicky with convergence. Convergence changes with viewing angle to some degree. The circuits drift quite a bit, especially the tuner, but that might be due to age (this set has only had a few capacitors replaced in the vertical section so far).

It seems Mitsubishi recycled this idea for a portable set. I was flicking through an old issue (79 or 80 from memory) of Electronics Australia the other night and found an atricle on new portable sets coming out of Japan. One of the sets used 3 small CRTs projected onto a screen that could be flipped down when the set was transported. They claimed this made smaller and it used less power than if they had used a single CRT the same size as the flip up screen. The article didn't mention if it was in production of just a prototype.

I've got my scanner working again, so I'll see if I can find the article again.

Here it is in Japanese on a website there. Not the Mitsubishi site though.

http://sts.kahaku.go.jp/sts/detail.p...21645&APage=79

Here is the google translation of the page.

And just for fun check this...a Mitsubishi rectangular color CRT from 1960;

I hope all these long address strings work.

These sets are really cool.

It is quite interesting to look at the differences in styling from US sets to the sets from Japan.

The Japanese sets seemed much more utilitarian while the American sets were much more ornate and focused much more on the asthetic. It really shows the differences in culture. Just from the designs, it seems that the Japanese viewed these sets as much more of a kitchen appliance; while the Americans wanted much more ornate cabinetry and tended to treat the tv's they were in love with as a piece of furniture and a focal point of the home.

Quite fascinating. Of course now, the tv IS just another appliance or at least that's how it seems.
