Guys


It wasn't for lack of trying. My terminal test sequence on an old nine inch tube went awry. Oops! I forget to mount the scan yoke!





But the tube face would not implode. The spot is too big perhaps, let's mount a focus yoke.



That helped some, but all I could do was crater the phosphor a little.........



I had my other camera in movie mode, but no fireworks. I'll have to get back to you on this.........

Exactly, but the glass is 1/4" thick and it would not crack.
