have a look at Michaels site http://www.xs4all.nl/~vdsmeede/fernseh/home_uk.html for a nice KCR40.

Thanks for links and wealth of information on your site.

Looking at the fotos of Fernseh's internal layout, one is struck by the seeming simplicity of the electronics for such a stellar performer.

A shootout between an LDK-3 & a KCP-40 would be interesting. I've only seen LDK-3 pictures in a remote truck at racetrack and it was impressive. The key is obviously those 30mm plumbicons which had great resolution specs.

When looking at the LDK-5/25 specs you see them dodging information on resolution performance but admitting to "35% tube modulation @ 400 lines".
Performance which is borne out in subjective appraisal.
