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:


A poster to the "Old VTRs" list on YahooGroups.com posted this link

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.
