This vacuum tube monitor was made by rebuilding the previous monitor.
I used this 13 cm oscillographic screen in it, which, unlike previous CRT,
has two anodes, so I had to add a 3.6 kV voltage multiplier for the second anode.
Monitor has also added the audio amplifier with the vacuum tube PCL82. As a temporary output transformer served useless 120V / 6V transformer.
The last change is the modification of the modulation to the cathode.
Sharpness of the CRT beam is surprisingly good, about 0.15 to 0.25 mm diameter. After changing the frequency of the deflection
and using a long persistance CRT the monitor could also be used for receiving of
SSTV (Slow TV). The advantage of electrostatic deflection is frequency independency.
Warning! There's high voltage in this device! Prior to manipulation, it is always necessary to disconnect it from the network
and make sure that the capacitors are discharged. The CRT tube can implode. You do everything on your own risk.

Caution! This is an example of how the CRT should NEVER be mounted. In any case, do not try this!
