It will be interesting to see what kind of picture quality can be had from 1960's technology and money was no object.

Guess you'll be wearing your lead apron Chuck when working on this monster live! Golly 40KV and all those X-rays shooting around. Makes you wonder how many Techs/Engineers got nuked before they discontinued the model.
