  • Dammittall, my Safari is gonna be useless here in a couple of weeks...Guess I'll just hafta use it for Target Practice...Yeah, Right....(grin)

  • Yeah,the tube should make a nice noise imploding ; )

    You can still run it off a vcr modulator on ch 3 or4 !!

  • geometry is too coool :)))

  • There was a Philips projector

    in Europe that used around 25KV at that

    time.I can see what looks like a voltage

    trebler after the Horiz output transformer.

    Think in the Philips unit all the High Voltage stuff was in an oil filled can.

    Yes,shoot some analogue closedown!

  • Yes. You are correct regarding the voltage tripler.

    I've seen several sets that use the Philips Protelgram system and its close cousins. Unfortunately, the only 2 that I ever laid my hands had problems inside that sealed HV unit.

    BTW, I posted some videos of my Safari.

  • Yes,good pictures off your Safari,they do last well.I've just bought an early 1950's 14" British "Pye" 405 line TV,busy changing all the capacitors.

  • Your choice of source material for the demo is interesting. Check out my demonstration of my restored 1947 RCA Model 648PV Rear Projection Console Television here on YouTube.

  • Yes indeed,coincidence!.Like the

    TV,EHT must be around 25KV

    I think.

  • Thanks!

    You're pretty close on the HV. It measures 29.6KV.

    BTW, I also have a Philco Safari. I'll have to shoot and post some video of it playing an analog OTA signal before it all ends on February 17.

  • olá, esse televisor é NTSC? Se for, como fizeste a modulação para NTSC-M?

  • Se um está querendo somente ver o vídeo (preto e branco) monocromático, não há que muita incompatibilidade, desde que a linha taxa do horizonal é quase a mesma (15734 hertz contra 15625 hertz - menos de 1%). O controle de preensão vertical deve ter bastante varation a ajustar para a diferença maior na taxa vertical, e a freqüência audio é um outro desafio.

  • Amazing !

  • Hi

    The viewing distance from the screen is

    critical because of the mirror to get the

    picture size right but considering

    everything it does work very well.Amazing

    technology for the time.
