Thanks, I'm not familiar with the 517 and had to look it up.
I found these useful tables detailing the various old CRTs: https://frank.pocnet.net/other/docs/CRT-data.pdf
Is the 517 one of the blue with yellow afterglow types. I used to have one. The blue image was very sharp, much better than the VCR97 I had at the same time.
I would be happy with any and am in no great hurry.
Since I do not leave the county very often a forum relay transport would be very useful for me if it could get one nearer to my home in North Yorkshire.
Kind regards, David
Hi David,
I thought I had three of these things but one of them is a strange little tube with a contact in the middle of the screen.
As a teenager I bought an H2S display unit that I intended to turn into a film scanner. I believe it is a VCR517. If my 50 years ago memory is correct, then yes it does have a blue image with yellow afterglow. The other one I inherited about 5 years ago and it looks identical to my H2S one. Both have the Mu metal screen and base and rubber screen frame. I don't know where the number is but I would assume it too is a 517.
Are you a member of the Stenning forum? If not I can put a transport request on there.
Peter.
