<DIV>Today, we see any Iconoscope images from the 1930's and 40's through the
medium of film, recorded via a Kinescope recorder that shot a TV monitor,
since videotape didn't come into use until 1956.</DIV></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>But there's an opportunity to see what an Iconoscope image looks like
when recorded today:</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>A poster to the "Old VTRs" list on YahooGroups.com posted this link</DIV>
<DIV><A title=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bs5l39WsnKo href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bs5l39WsnKo">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bs5l39WsnKo</A></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>It's a 15 minute documentary about a Japanese gentleman who has made a
working, Iconoscope camera using a very old but good-condition Iconocsope tube
and modern electronic circuits.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>The documentary shows how good television might have looked—particularly
in the studio—and when all parts of the system were working well. </DIV>
