Posted: Thu Apr 12, 2018 9:40 pm
I mentioned on the Thylacine build i was planning on a vidicon camera build did a little more construction on it today ,its been put on the back burner for a fair while with the monitor builds ..
Had a brake from the monitor today and dug out the the vidicon in its biscuit tin to mount some brackets transformers sockets such so i can just work on the circuits .
Tube being used is one from Troys collection and the focus and deflection coils its a XQ1290 thanks to CQ tv magazine i see is a replacement or copy of the EMI9677 where there is a bit of data about that one .
It also came with a preamp no data but i looked it to see if i could work it out ,that was a few months back and worked out it use's a dual supply
Now to the Build evolution ...
I needed a case only thing big enough was a biscuit tin
I saw that just big enough to fit the large yoke and yoke adjustments housing and preamp and this size of circuit matrix board ...
Next was mounting a old 35mm lens and working focus distance to the Target tube face the focus can be adjusted manually via a control you might be able to see .
