Most Vidikron CRT's are Electrohome's. From either the Lesser ECP series or the High End Marquee series.
Do you know which model you talked about? And how much they want so we can tell you if its a good deal.

What you really want to find cheap is a Vidicom Vissoni One.

Oh heck, for that price, grab it. The older TGS Series were video only and generally junk (and now are 15+ years old for some of them), but the later sets were good.

well, on the upside it was free, however, as an idea of age, its tubes are compatible with my current projector (at least they are 10s) never mind, i am sure some kind soul will take pitty on my and find a Sony G something for me Smile

What model is it exactly and can you take pictures? If its a vision 1, 2, or 3 we can help you get it up and running in no time.

Really the sad thing about it is it is very well made, a really beautiful design.... still no holder for when you have the main PCB up, but still really neat, well designed for maintenance (i might still just repair it, just for the hell of it)
