Hello Jac, Hi Steve,
after the initial warm up time the picture is dim. Allow five minutes and the picture becomes quite acceptable, room lights dimmed of course, but the pictures are of entertainment value.
We're hoping the 15MW4 CRT in the T5 will the same or even better perhaps?
The type number seems to indicate that after WW2 Cinema Television was making a replacement for the pre-war 15MW1 and 15MW2 tubes.
I'll be returning to the workshop later this evening to try out the T5 EHT unit in the T23.

DFWB.
