I asked about that. I wrote:

"The CRT has clearly been replaced with a smaller than original replacement. Do you know what the replacement CRT is from? Have there been any other replacements and/or modifications? Thanks!" I got the following rather snarky response: "The CRT has never been replaced while I have owned it since 1989 , purchased from Stewart¡¯s of Reading and I have no reason to believe it ever has . You got X-Ray Vision ? ? all you can see is the screen and the fitted escutcheon. Kindly end this pointless discussion now thanks , it¡¯s the third time I¡¯ve had some ( in my view) Anorak querying why the tube ( which you cannot actually see, other than the visible screen ) has been replaced . End of discussion, I¡¯m too old and too indifferent to your opinions to care . BYE! ???¡á? Stay Safe and Stay Well ?" I won't be bidding, though this is better than one I saw a while back with what appeared to be a piece of cardboard in place of a CRT. -----Original Message-----

Maybe his late dad replaced the original crt when it failed? Geoff.

The current ad is a relistng as it didn't sell last week. I contacted him before the auction ended and politely pointed out this anomaly, but received a very hostile response (reproduced below). Someone else had a go with similar response. He's also stated categorically that no scope ever made has the graticule on the inside face. He may be a flat-earther? Perhaps someone else would like to have a try... |
