Ampico-kid-
Yes, that is what I meant by "proper aspect ratio" versus the filled CRT. An early variation of all the shenanigans you can (and sometimes have to) go through with wide-screen HDTVs and DVDs/players.

Ampico, that test pattern photo likely would have engineers at some of Zenith's competitors rolling on the floor laughing! One thing, it takes a lot of weight off all the actors. I have the pic on my porthole stretched so that I lose more of the sides so that the ratio is more correct.

That's pretty good ,all the other manufacturers must have liked that one
 Im glad this topic was brought up , I was always wondering what the porthole picture was like . You guys are most likely already aware that there is a Stromburg Carlson on ebay , current bid $ 80.00 . http://cgi.ebay.com/VINTAGE-Stromber...d=p3286.c0.m14

Yep, thats a neat little set. I was watching, and trying to justify, when it ended the first time, the reserve was not met, it was bid to about $73.00. Am I the only one who thinks those reserve sales are a big waste of time???
  Any way, I hope one of us get it, should make for a good restor story. I am not bidding, already have to many projects to finish.
