Live Webcast of Early Television Convention

[dtvmcdonald]

Some of the webcasts are still online. I don't see the auction, however.

The CRT rebuild stuff did not go well.

Cliff Benham got both NTSC to spinning disk color convertors working
well enough to show passable color but terrible flicker, not in the
league of the real CBS spinning wheels.

All the kings horses anad all the king's men did not get the CT-100 working
really correctly, the overall gain and color was weak but at least the color
was returned from the dead and exactly the correct hue.

Cliff said something about the pulley size on the one, and a bearing on another, as I recall.

I was shocked to see that the CT-100 was running on original electrolytics and still had some wax filter caps in there

I would think that a set like that would be too valuable to risk operating like that, and IMO should have that stuff changed out. The set lost color due to a dead heater in a tube.
