Well, there are a lot less tubes than in a normal TV of that vintage, so heat may be less of a problem than one might think. I'd just measure the internal temperature after the set is fully warmed up first to see if there is valid concern.

Superbly done. Very impressive work!

Excellent project! Of course you have the best possible picture detail with a direct video in. It would be fun to see the schematic if you don't mind sharing.

Fredrik,
You've done a fantastic job. Great to see DIY projects where you can put all your skills to use.

I bow to you Sir, well done

I've had it on for about 2 hours and there seems to be no problem with heat. It also only has a total of 10 tubes with the CRT included.

Here is the schematic. The audio amplifier and the power supply are not included here. They will be added also later.
