Yep. It's a 61 panel camper and gets driven several times a week. I've had it for almost 20 years. I've had several old VWs in the past and decided to keep this one.

I ran the picture tube for a couple of hours last night at 7V to wake it up. At 6.3V, the emissions moved from nearly dead to about mid range. Still in the "bad emissions" part of the meter, but near the top end. Might make a decent picture.
