Nope, no oxygen-infused wires . Just very clean tubes with little numbers written on them.


leadlike - good call on the ion trap . I loosened the set screws and fiddled with it. At first, I lost the picture entirely
Then, I search the AK archives and found this thread with good instructions about 15 posts down.
A little more tweaking and I got a much brighter picture . A little more tweaking with the yoke centering lever finally got me decent picture. I've seen better, but it's certainly watchable .

Here it is with and without the enlarger. Not only enlarges but adds a blue tint and turns MTM into Rockford .

Here's a little YouTube clip showing off this set, its "picture enlarger" feature and the bubble magnifier.
