Awe I was hoping for some inside pics.

I heard they are delta-guns, and wanted to know if it's true.

Very nice catch. Havnt seen one since the Gipper was CIC.
Quite rare & not cheap $$ new.
I think Panny made the best under 13" sets. Good quality,
nice pix, easy to work on if you remember the red screws......

Thanks for the memories.

More reliable than trinitrons, but trinis have better picture quality.

Rare set ! Most of these were used as portables, outdoors, on boats, in cars etc etc.
Not many survived !

I just picked up one of these sets. Any hints for the pinout of the power connector?
