I'm still wondering what to do with the old TV, perhaps I'll chek out parts of the circuit and see if the tube is ok.
If anyone is interested they are welcome to it, I really need the space its taking.
Meanwhile whilst looking in some boxes of books for something else I found my old Oscilloscope book which I used to construct the first 'scope I made. I found another book all about timebases by Puckle himself - I forget where that one came from but it has loads of detail in it and even a couple of old photos. I like this one showing the electron gun. David.
