They are neat Sandy.....Just don't ever put a crosshatch on one. You will then FOREVER know these are FAR from perfect. Still a marvel that they even CAN do this geometry trick and pull these off. I use my little Sony 10A in the front room quite regularly to just check that my "in house" station and the little Archos media player are still up and doing okay. I really only need a couple examples of this "paddle" CRT...so I only have a 2A, 10A and the pink 42A. I may sometime go looking for one of the "electrostatic" ones (230?)...so I'll then have the "real" flat example.

I do NOT yet know what the term "electrostatic' means in a CRT....for everything I have is just electromagnetic with yokes. I had NEVER heard of electrostatic until I went through that BIG long thread on the different small screens.
