Yup Jr_tech....
I had posted that about the tube being "wrong" before looking at that GREAT thread...so I thought it was supposed to be the tube that was inside the 1010. After actually SEEING the thread though, a REAL nice collection of the little Sony paddle crt. I didn't even know there were two different flat Sony crt at the time. I have the little 10A and more recently a bright PINK little FD-42A. I thought the pink was so unusual...because I could see NO reference to a pink 42A with Google. I have seen the weird geometry these sets have when you put a crosshatch on them, but they seem to be perfectly watchable for the casual viewer. I have another one that I think is an "FD 2A". All of these are of the curved paddle type...so was NOT aware of the rather unusual electrostatic crt.
I use the little FD-10A almost daily in the front room just to see that my inhouse transmitter IS up and running. It just sits on the coffeetable.
I once wigged out one of my friends who picked it up and laughed at why I had such a stupid thing next to all my remotes. I just turned it on casually and said "Of COURSE it works.....looks like Lost in Space is on". He had no idea of the inhouse media player and had him thinking some REAL old station was on the air...and playing OLD stuff...complete with commercials for the Chevrolet Corvair and VW Beatle :P
