[NJARC] Museum Needs CRT

[Al Klase]

Folks,

Last week the RTM received a generous donation of Marantz stereo 
equipment, including a 10B tuner.  This is a timely event as we're 
getting ready to rearrange the displays to highlight recorded music.

The 10B cost $650 in 1965 which is about 5 Grand in today's cash. It's a 
thing of beauty.  Looks like military electronics on the inside.  After 
clearing away five decades of grime and a little TLC it works quite 
well.  See: http://www.ar88.net/audio/10B%20Scope.m4v

Of course the built-in oscilloscope is the best part, but I had to shoot 
that video in a darkened room.  We need a new CRT.

It's a 3" CRT known variously as DG-32, 3RP1, or CV2431.  It's shorter 
than the common 3BP1, and operates at lower voltage.  I can buy one for 
about $65, but thought I'd ask the group first.

The donation also included a Model 7 preamp, an 8B power amp, two large 
speakers, and an Ampex home-sized tape deck.  Cool stuff!

Check your junk boxes,
Al
