I have some photos from a G25K502 I used to have, taken in 2000 which don't scan too well and nothing like the excellent quality obtained off screen. The pictures impressed everyone who saw it.

Here are some, now I'm on the laptop. Difficult uploading photos when using the phone.

As you'll see the test card appears with slightly too much height. This was deliberate as most programmes were shown with gaps at the top and bottom at the time. They were from VHS recordings (405 converted via Dinosaur converter). Note the height was a little shorter on 405-lines.

These photos do no justice to the quality of the pictures obtained on the set. Excellent convergence was possible on both systems.
