if that is a 23x chassis it should perform well. I have on of those, very solid build. The only problem I have had on them is HV regulation can be a little bit flakey. they dont use a HV shunt tube, but rather a tube that loads down the primary of the fly. I just dont think it works as well, but I understand the marketing was that it was safer from an X ray perspective (no way it the regulator tube can produce x rays, even if something went wrong).

Its a 20x1c38 chassis. I got it up into our apartment and put it in the back bedroom. I should be able to get some pics up soon. It will definitely need cleaned but it is in working order.

I may end up just selling it. Its a lot bigger than I thought and I don't have a lot of room at the moment. I really just wanted to save it from the scrappers since it was in the free section of Craigslist. I will have to play around with it first though. If there are any serious collectors in the Pittsburgh area though, send me a PM and we can work out a deal. I just want this to go to someone who will appreciate it.

thats an excellant chassis. There are several black electros, the AGC and the video out (4mf and 50mf IIRC) on mine went out. whats nice is since they were tube caps they were easy to replace vs having to stuff a filter can.

Def should be saved, would make a great daily driver.

oh symptoms of those failures...

AGC setting hyper critical (goes from snow to blanked out screen in just a few degrees turn of the pot).

Video out cathode bypass, smearing fof the y channel to the right. may improve some after warming up (the cap performance improves some with heat).
