Sweet, it's well worth fixing up then. I really need to open it and secure that meter, I'm concerned about it shorting something.
So I would need a tube set to create the video patterns? I wish I could find a later model tube colour to mix things up a little.
What would you recommend for a counter? Good to know my HP is good for radio work as well, could be handy for whenever I'm able to resume work on that Pye. I'd prefer to resurrect ready-made AM and FM modulators but if I need to build them so be it.
