Good idea David. These very simple transformers produce around 7kv of very well regulated EHT.

Mine has no cabinet and thinking about it I might make a few base adaptors and use the chassis to picture test any tubes with 35 or 38mm neck diameters. A few pre cut wooden blocks will suffice as support for the various CRT shapes and setting up would only take a few moments.

It would not alter the chassis in any way and maybe a cabinet will become available in the future returning it to a complete receiver. Most odd items seem to turn up if you wait long enough! Regards, John.
PS Totally agree Hamish but at least David has got it and if anyone can get a picture on it I'm sure David will manage it. They don't call us Laurel and Hardy for nothing...
