Marshall, that last image I assume was when it was turned off. Even though it tests weak, the picture is very watchable. Sony really was an innovator back then. Thanks for posting those.

Hi John,

Yes. The lens flares are exaggerated by the camera. Normally, the residual light looks like the second last photo. The red is almost non- existent, but if there is a strong red signal, this Chromatron displays it. I agree with you about Sony, now the Koreans took over television development. Sony seems to focus more on photography these days. They innovated mirrorless cameras. Just read this week that Nikon and Cannon are abandoning DSLR’s for mirrorless only. Thanks.
