Setchel-Carlson P-62

[cork]

This is the kind of picture that an early Setchel barrel porable makes. It's about a model P-62. It has a 90 degree CRT but uses a silicon doubler power supply instead of the 5U4 setup used by the P-61. I was hoping this set would have a little better linearity than the 110 degree model P-66. Well, the second harmonic distortion is better, but the first harmonic distortion is pretty significant, thus the right side of the picture is squashed. This problem is still present, even after the tubes and capacitors in the H sweep sect. have been
replaced. This set has no horiizontal linearity coil, by design. Maybe that's all the better they work w/o a lin. coil?

The dim little thing down below the Setchel is a Hallicrafters T-54.
