Good day to all and happy Labor Day weekend.
Update September 1, 2023
The below 9 screenshots in the slideshow were taken September 1, 2023, marking the 4th anniversary of the restoration of our Westinghouse H840CK15 by Mike Doyle and myself. The set is holding up nicely and we’ve made zero adjustments since last year. We just power it up and it takes about 20 minuted to stabilize with optimum image quality. I don’t mess with the controls. The set is 69 years old!
The screenshots were taken with a Sony A6300 24MP camera atop a tripod, in a darkened room with one lit LED 3500 Kelvin lamp, shot in RAW+JPEG. The photos were processed by Lightroom for iPad in TIFF format, Display P3 color format, 16 bit depth at full resolution of my camera. File size in TIFF average 144MP, so we had to dumb down the images with these PNG files averaging 8MP.
The camera settings were 6000×4000, sometimes cropped, auto white balance, exposure 1/15s, aperture F/25, auto ISO: 20,000, (explains the grain) focal length 40.0mm, exposure: manual, metering mode: Pattern. Shortly I will post one TIFF file to show the detail.

Test image, 144MB TIFF file, unfortunately down converted to a 10MB JPEG file by WordPress, host of my website. You can still see the dot structure, but not the full dynamic range of the image. Viewing on an extended gamut color monitor is recommended.
