Anyhow been working on it on and off for about a month and have got it up to operational status and it is making pictures on all standards! Here are some pics of my set
That is a great project and LOTS of work.

Unless someone has built something from scratch he has no idea how much effort and work it is to get a picture from a mechanical TV system.

Congratulations!
