Hello David,
The EL38 valve is employed by Murphy Radio in the V180 due to it's smaller size. The 6P28 would have fouled on the CRT on the 12" models being mounted on the side in that odd way. It was all a matter of cramming it in to what was originally a 9" chassis.The lin looks very good and yes, the interlace is excellent on these models, a far cry from the V150.. John.
