I do notice in the photo of the colour bars displayed on the screen that the yellow bar appears to be light green, is this just the digital camera not picking up the CRT colours properly in the photo shoot?
Anyways superb job!!!  |
Aussie,
Thanks for the kind comments.
There is a two fold issue on the yellow. The camera changes the color somewhat. I tried many different setting for the white balance on the camera but this was as close as I could get. Second: This set seems to amplify the green more than I want and I have done everything I can think of to balance the green down and the blue up but when I get it just about correct, the 3.58 falls out of sync. So I have struck a fair compromise. In person the yellow is better than in the photo, but only about 80% as good as I would like it. But still it produces a very nice picture if you are a good tweeker of the hue, contrast, brightness, and saturation. But then; these old sets were known for needing an engineer to constantly keep tweeking the settings.
Here is another screen shot of the chassis when it was still on the bench taken in a darkened room with the same camera. Depending on the lighting conditions and how the camera is set, the camera will produce different results.
