SAE Mk VI scope tube
Paul Anthony Bigelow
Dear James,
You are correct about the "spot killer". While not readily apparent with the transparent smoke cover in place, there is a faint residual dot visible with no signal present with the cover removed. Consequently, there is the faintest of burn marks on the scope tube, however it isn't bad -- just a slight discoloration really and quite small (but could, of course, get worse with time). With the smoke cover in place it is barely perceptible -- I have to really look for it. Thank you for the suggestion about ATI. Gale will be contacted concerning the knob and the poteniometer. Upon first inspection, I thought the scope adjustment knobs were black plastic with a set screw. WRONG -- even those knobs are machined and black anodized. Really impressive. Best regards, Paul Bigelow |

SAE did go all out with the VIB to the best of their ability. The tuner really was a beautiful piece. As I've stated on these pages before, I myself am looking for one as many years ago, I did a very stupid thing when I got rid of mine. Regarding the adjustment of the spot killer, It should be TOTALLY off, meaning when there is no signal, there should NOT even be a feint risidual spot. This is very important to prolong the life of the tube. Actually, the two adjustments interact that is the inensity and the spot killer. James Bongiorno Paul Anthony Bigelow wrote: Dear James, |
