TLS50. Based around the CTC-2B chassis (21CT-55), with no modifications to the basic chassis, except to leave off the convergence yoke assembly. All the circuitry associated with the fantastic control panel is passive components, used to adjust the bias on the 3 CRTs, and set up the vertical and horizontal sweep and focus. The projection optics are 3 Norelco Protelgram boxes, with special versions of the 3NP4 CRTs, with blue, green and yellow phosphors, and a red Wratten filter. Courtesy of John Folsom |
