Hi David,
I remember visiting in the late 90's and watching Wimbledon on it.

Btw. I don't know what the life was of the 15MW1/15MW2, but I've seen a good one first hand in a T5 and it is even better than 6/6. However we do know that the 6/6 seems to have a very long operational life.

I'm not sure how the Cossor CRT compares, but I've yet to see a good one. So was the original fitting of the Cossor tube less to do with reliability and more to do with the Cossor tubes being easier to obtain?

Cheers
Andy
