You'd also have       to replicate all that, separately, and then this whole project can turn       into an expensive and time-consuming can of worms.                     > The picture tube (19VJTP22) specs are:       >       > Heater 6.3V       > Anode Voltage 30kV (no one ran them at 30kV!) 20 - 24kV was typical)       > Cathode Voltage 125V       > Focus Voltage 5000/6000V       > Max G2 Voltage 675V       >       > Not sure of the current requirements yet.
