The HD10 family of lenses has been designed to maximize performance and
versatility for professional CRT projection video, data and graphics applications.
All HD10 family lenses are optically coupled and designed to cover a full 178mm
(7”) raster diagonal.

this is from the pdf about the hd10 family lenses.

am i missing something here or is there simply no lens available that is designed for a larger then 7 inch diagonal of the tubeface, so focus abilty is always compromised when setting up a larger then 7 inch diagonal raster on a 9 inch tube?

They are referring to real life picture size at tubes face, not to fantasy raster size at two inch outside tubes face plate that salesmans used. Very Happy

Closer to reality would be:

'we made these lenses because a bunch of engineers designed a high end CRT chassis, and came to us asking: 'holy sh*t, how do we project this image onto a really big screen?' Mr. Green

For instance: my raster is about 14.5 cm wide. At 4:3 this would correspond to 7.15 inches, which is nowhere near the 9 inch marketing pitch.

i get it... 9 inch tubes do not exist Mr. Green

i am going to measure the diagonal myself btw as the liquid (demineralised water) that is now in the blue chamber is coming out Evil or Very Mad .

i cannot believe 7 inch is about the max you can get from a 9 inch tube.
that is a 5cm margin !.

Don't be silly; the twelve inch tubes likely measure around nine inches! Smile

I was always under the impression ALL tubes in ALL CRTs are measured to the edge of the glass? Every single 17 inch CRT monitor ive ever seen only had a 16 inch ( or sometimes even less!! ) viewable area!!

Does it really matter anyway. A 9" tube is larger than a 7" tube in terms of physical size, raster size and performance.

the topic was that the hd10 lenses were designed to focus a diagonal up to 7 inches and i think it`s silly that a nine inch tube has only 7 inch of usable space if this is true, not about real tube size being important or not.
i know when the blue comes out and new fluid goes in and will certainly let you know the exact maximum usable diagonal.

almost certain it is more then 7 inches Mr. Green

ok, i measured and even with a 4:3 ratio the maximum available tube face diagonal is just a bit more then 7 inch.
this is disappointing for a 9 inch tube!

How disappointing is it if you have 7 inch tubes.
