My scanning disk monitor has got a new housing.
The woodworks were done by a friend, Ulrich Barkow, who is a retired physicist and the master of the city of Broitzem here. When he saw the first draft of my monitor working, he was so impressed that he asked me to make a new housing for it. He has a special workbench and tools for woodworking and will introduce me to do the same. I am fascinated and I wish I can do it in the same way. See the photos:

He has put the motor and the disk bearing into a wooden block, which is fixed with screws at the ground plate. The wooden ground plate now is removable. The surface of the wood is oiled.
I have constructed this set in this way that everybody can see it working from the outside and understand how it works. This is the "philosophy" behind this set. I want to use this set for teaching childs and young people to understand the fundamental principles of television. When they carefully observe this set they found the fundamental principles by themselfes and can explain it. This is not possible with modern tv sets.
