Default Re: Question about scanning and "sync pulses"

I'm just still mind blown at how complex cathode ray TVs are. The people who figured how to do all this were geniuses!
Yes they were.

The "modern technology" we have today of course was designed by people who stood on the shoulders of these geniuses. Many from the past went largely unrecognized. Some were. There were a good number of contributors to TV tech, Blumlein, Baird, Zworkyn, Farnsworth etc etc and they couldn't have done much without the great steps forward in Physics made for them, by others, years before and the invention of the vacuum tube. You could go back to J. C. Maxwell's wave equations and claim he started it there, he was certainly a great inspiration to Mr Einstein too.

It is very good when someone like yourself can recognize the clever thinking that went into something like an analog TV set and appreciates that. It really makes you the ideal person to be restoring a vintage TV set.
