I am Saticon

The new Project converting late image tube model saticon tube into a NBTV camera ...
The idea has come from looking at Aussiebloke Troys B/w 625 line home made camera and the also amazing I am a Iconoscope video...so i have some thing to study for a start more so on Troys camera .
I have no real interest in making a 625 line one but NBTV is another story .
I do have a few scrapped vidicon types 80s and for a start i want to see if the saticon can work as a B/w camera ..
Worst case you could stick a Nipkow disk in front of it and use it as a very complex solar cell...but i am seeing if i can do it all electronic..
The saticon has something over the other types and it is its electro static focused and very small and really the only one i have found information on its workings.
I don't think i could even think of trying this out without the work and help from gary on the last mechanical camera so i am doing a bit of jump here and giviong it a go .
Most of the hard work has been done for me as far as schematics and i just have to change a few things for NBTV standards at the moment i am working on the power supply ...well it will be interesting to see what happens with a bit of luck cameras might be my thing
