curtis mathes

[robdjf]

I saw a curtis mathes a308 portable on ebay.
Does anyome know without buying a sams what crt this would have ?
I was looking for 10vadp22 for my porta color.
Does anyone know if this crt was used in ss sets or just tube sets.
I would be willing to buy a ss set just for the crt.

Is it this one?

I'm pretty sure it won't work.
As far as I know the Porta Color tube was unique, that CM looks like it's actually a Panasonic or another rebadged Japanese brand, to square to fit the PC and probably different electrically as well.

Yes thats it. I didnt want to download a $22.00 sams for nothing.
Thank you

I'll second that the portacolor tube was only used in portacolor's. I think the rare solid state portacolor II from the early '70's used the same tube as the tube sets; but, the unofficial solid state portacolor III from the late '70's-early '80's used a different tube than the older ones.
