Notes

S-video quality is pretty great. Not too much chroma bleed on this one, perfectly acceptable. Jungle chip was made by Philips, so that may explain why it looks good. There are three pins that can accept RGB and YUV, so a mod is possible.

The tube was made at RCA's Mexico facility, and it is surprisingly good. Normally these ADT-family tubes would have soft corners, but this one—whether it be due to low hours or just being a good model—is quite sharp from edge to edge. The yoke being bonded is a bit of a bummer, but its still quite a good tube regardless.
