Yeah but then I think he under estimated the Playboy at around the 3K mark

But I would have liked to have seen more older stuff to many modern machines for my liking

So that tube is supposed to be paired with a Nanao Ms-8. No idea if the generic chassis will work, but it's likely never gonna be great even if it does.
