The TRK-9 and 12 have 6KV AC and about 7200 VDC. Either can kill you, so I am extremely careful when I work on either of them. Chuck, the TRK-5 should give a nice but dim picture. They have absolutely no selectivity, so they need to be fed with a VCR. If you have a strong low band local channel it can cause interference with the VCR signal, so you may have to use a 10 db amplifier on the VCR output. Also, the local oscillators in the RCA prewar sets are touchy, and drift badly.
