I know it well, but it is unlikely to be the monitor I am looking for here
:
It's colour (and the P2000C is clearly a monochrome output).While that
it no real barrier, I doubt Philips would have wasted a colour CRT in
that way
I missed that. So it was pinned for colour but only used mono ?There was
Is it 12"? Something is telling me it's a 14" CRT but I am not gong to
dig mine out to check. The service manual implies it is over 12"
diagonal.
You're right. Mine has 13" visible so probably a 14" tube. And
although the
mono might have been smaller, that case shape is so embedded in my memory
that I think they must have been 14" too - a 12" version would have looked
amusingly miniaturised.
