I want to see where Buzz finds a .05@ 5 or 6KV. The .001's and .005's mylars are not too hard to find.
When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!

Currently there are some .05 5kv's on eBay.... not cheap, but available. When I was doing my Pilot TV I found HV caps at the Dayton Hamfest and I think I bought enough to do my other Pilot too (if I can ever find where I put the caps).

The TV is beautiful, love the screen and the effect it gives, the Puppet/Mannequin thing is horrifying, I have a thing about Puppets and also about Clowns. Even the word "puppet" chills me.
Thanks for sharing the resto and your unique video productions.

A pre war Hallicrafters, and an early one too, very nice! 1936 is pretty early for metal tubes too, which would explain ...Arran — 05:58 PM |
