<DIV>Hi Ted:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I agree with Park.....nice job!</DIV>

<DIV>The Tek 1720/1730 has a better feature set than it's older cousins, but the
initial "warm-up" time required to stabilize is much greater than
the older models. They drift for awhile, so you need to be aware
of that in a situation where they are not left powered up continuously.
After a minimum of 30 minutes, they're pretty stable, but not before.
There are also about 5 different versions of power supplies, which kind of
indicates that there may have been a few design "challenges" in the earlier
versions! The later combination units like the 1740A (not 1740), 1750A,
1760 are much more stable.</DIV>

<DIV>I can't remember the specifics on the tube in the Barco CM22, but I don't
think they ever had a Trinitron in their monitors. I have a number of the
Barco CVS series 13" monitors which I like a lot. They offered several
different tubes in those, indicated by a part number suffix. Ampex sold
the CM22 for $2,250 in the late 80's. For console configurations with the
large monitor, they offered a choice of the Tek 650HR for $4,950, the Barco
CVS37 for $4,200 or the Ikegami TM14 for $2,045. Not really bad prices when
amortized over the past 20+ years!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Here's a VPR-3 bridge with the 13" Barco and a 1750A. Using a combo
model leaves room for the 760A monitor.</DIV>
