Hi Gentlemen,

The two identical CRT displays in a perspex casing are part of two kits marketed by Philips in the 1980 for budding adolescent engineers.

Box 1 contained all the parts to build a television RF end (preassembled), an IF strip (preassembled) and the Sound section. TV standard was CCIR B/G in B&W. The tuner was UHF only. There was a very rare version sold in France which operated on System L/625.

Box 2 contained the CRT unit. It is a complete sub-assembly, complete with H & V deflection amplifiers and a 800V EHT supply. The CRT is a DG7-32 P1 Phosphor (Green) oscilloscope tube.

The documentation is a very complete & heafty folder book including many electrical experiments to be built, among others to turn the display unit into an O-Scope.

The two kit boxes together allowed the construction of the TV receiver. AKA a green-screen TV like we all built in the late 40s/early 50s using ex-Radar displays (VCR-97 CRT).

I purchased the display unit for a song (CRT busted) from a toy shop closing sale.
Once the DG7-32 replaced with a new tube, i used it for years to display X/Y Lissajous shapes on my stereo system; quite a girl-catcher !

The display unit uses all Germanium transistors. Opening the glued Perspex enclosure to replace the tube was quite tricky to achieve without breaking the plastic.

There is quite a following on German forums dedicated to the Philips EE (Electronic Engineer) Series. The 2 boxes are part of the Serie.
