<DIV>Hi Dave:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Though I suspect few were sold that way, at least by '71 (per the price
book) a Tek color monitor was an option for the machine and the demod outputs of
that monitor also provided a vector display for the X-Y scope. So if he
wanted to keep the color display, the "frame" could be changed from the Conrac
to a Tek monitor.</DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>I've got a good accurate color bar waveform image to send Don,
but I'd like input from the group as to what the other scope should display.
I recall seeing the RF level waveform most frequently left selected in
most facilities. Does anybody have a good waveform image of that they'd
like to send me?
<DIV>The monitor, of course was monochrome. Some facilities kept the
display with H and V delay so they saw the H and V syncs displayed, most
usually just had it on line out. Again, suggestions (or images) welcome.
</DIV>

<DIV>Don said the exercise was to model a complex object with the minimum
number of polygons, which is why circles are hexagons (capstan, knobs, etc)
That could be increased for accuracy, but making them have enough points
to look perfectly round would probably increase the number of polygons needed
to render the whole machine by an order of magnitude.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I think it would be interesting if we helped Don get this model to be
accurate - you never know there may end up being an AVR-1 in the next big
videogame or feature film!</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Any images you might have or could easily make of what you'd like to see
displayed, as well as appearance details that were incorrect on his model
would be greatly appreciated.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Obviously, Don has other things to do, but the scope and monitor maps
would be easily fixed.</DIV>
<DIV>The rest as his time permits.</DIV>
<DIV>Thanks!</DIV>
