IIRC there was some talk of possibly using those tubes in 15GP22 based sets.
I'd love to have one of those sets.

Well, I missed out on the CT-100 and the 15GP4, as those were almost gone by the time I graduated to color and an older tech got them. However since I owned a CBS 205 that I had cobbled together from three junked chassis, I inherited all of those that came in to the shop. I've only seen two TV sets that gave almost as good a picture as I saw on a studio monitor and they were the CBS 205 and Toshiba/Sears. The CBS was junked when the last of my two 19VP22's went to air. Never in my life have I walked into a store and bought a TV immediately except for that once when I saw that Toshiba at Sears! You know, with the CBS, you spent more time working on the thing than watching it, but with the Toshiba, they just kept running. James |

Shame you junked that CBS, those are quite valuable now.

I have a Conrac monitor with that crt,my crt is marked Hitachi.This monitor was mfd in 1962,and has had a rough life,it
survived a house fire,and then sat in the burned house for some time.When I got it,it was encased in ice.The saftey glass was smashed so I removed it.I removed the face plate for a sandblast/repaint.The rest survived because it is made of aluminum.The crt tests great,and it does show a dim raster.I would sell to anyone interested in the whole unit,or needs the crt.

Rather spartan looking but I'm quite certain it was absurdly expensive in its day. I remember seeing some of these at a local station once but not in service. Late 60s I think. The only reason I remember was because of the smaller screen size still with the big neck.

Regarding the Hitachi branding of the Conrac CRT, Toshiba, might have bought the CRT's from Hitachi, or vice-versa.
IIRC, the first three years of the Zenith roundies, had RCA CRT's in them. |
