[Milsurplus] [Boatanchors] Infrared Image Tube

[John Franke]

That brings back memories! Back in the early 1980s I experimented with a 6032 image converter tube. I even published a short article describing a high voltage power supply using a Crockoft-Walton (Spelling?) circuit: Franke, John M.:  "18kV with No Transformer," 73 Magazine, Amateur Radio's Technical Journal, Issue 275, August 1983, pp. 94-95. Not in the article, but I tried a circuit to rotate the final image. The original author I lost track of, but the technique involved wrapping a solenoid coil around the section just before the image screen. The strength of the axial field would rotate the image, not deflect it. It worked great. It would be fun to retry the experiments. How much for the tube?
