New CRTs

10:46 pm Uncategorized

The other day at the electronics flea market I obtained a couple of new CRTs. The one below has a P2 phosphor which is brighter and more energetic than the P1 and has much longer persistence. You can light it up with one of those UV LED flashlights. Notice the inspection sticker.

And the one below is a fine example of the P12 phosphor–it lights up amber. The color is similar to that of the old amber MDA monitors but the persistence is longer.

    “You can light it up with one of those UV LED flashlights” – so you could get the same visual effect w/ a UV laser projector and phosphor paint on the glass of your choice.
