This IS AMAZING! What great workmanship plus an interesting slice of his
history.
Also good to see someone besides me has a granite surface plate in their
workshop!
and he found one of the tubes at the TRW swap meet!

Today, we see any Iconoscope images from the 1930's and 40's through the
medium of film, recorded via a Kinescope recorder that shot a TV monitor,
since videotape didn't come into use until 1956.
But there's an opportunity to see what an Iconoscope image looks like when
recorded today:

It's a 15 minute documentary about a Japanese gentleman who has made a
working, Iconoscope camera using a very old but good-condition Iconocsope tube
and modern electronic circuits.
The documentary shows how good television might have looked—particularly
in the studio—and when all parts of the system were working well.
