First thing on the new bench: this tv test pattern generator. It uses a flying spot scanner - a CRT scans a spot across a transparency, and the varying intensity is picked up by a photomultiplier tube and becomes the video signal 🤯. In. Sane.

@forty2 I've seen Shango066 use a similar one for sets with weird IF frequency IIRC. Very cool device.
