Specialized - Cathode Ray ·CathodeRay
Five-inch monoscope with electrostatic focusing, magnetic deflection, and an internal pattern electrode. RCA designed it to generate fixed television and test patterns electronically rather than display an externally supplied image.
Five-inch monoscope with electrostatic focus, magnetic deflection, and internal pattern electrode for television/test-pattern generation.
Octal 8-contact CRT base
