Is it a vector monitor?
Uh....LOL !!!! It is a nice,working German built WEGA (when WEGA wasn't owned by Sony yet) B/W TV.
Of course, as every TV, it is a raster device.
But...as you know....a tube is a tube. And a B/W tube with no burn in with the right size is a nice candidate for transplantation !
I must say it is going to hurt me a bit to do it on this TV. I mean have a good look at the design.....it looks very tight for a 70's TV right ? I mean, most TV's used bulky dials and had woodgrain exterior. I bet this was a design TV in those days.
As a matter of fact.....the white, the minimal design..........does it remind you of something ? Mmmm--mmm yep. It reminds you of a Mac....well at least it did to me....and then I checked this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WEGA...and read that the designer at WEGA was Hartmut Esslinger and when we check out this guy on Wikipedia it turns out that he was the man behind the tight white design of the first Macs and Apple Iic....man....that I recognized that design style !
Now isn't that a nice story
Anyway....it took me a LOT of searching to find a 48cm. (19") working B/W TV and I scored it in Germany where it will be picked up soon by a good friend
B/W TVs being offered on places like Marktplaats usually are either small portable one's or very large one's...
@Gyruss:
Missing parts in that I still have to order (or become available to order) ?
Dokert has already made the CP harnesses. He will be doing the full harness later and I asked him to ship them together.
I will need a cardboard bezel but should be possible to make it myself.
Also the wooden support for the mission lights and either make a PCB with those lights or fork up the 110 bux for the repro one...
Also need is a marquee and (maybe later) side art...
That's it, the rest is here, o I do have to check if I still have enough cones and buttons for the CP. And of course I need the CPO....
In theory everything is possible....with a little help from my friends
Things still to arrive at my home are the Power Brick (which I foolishly forgot at Chris's) and the AR-1 board which was hopefully picked up by Franck in Paris....that one somehow still has to enter the EADS system
