Nice construction. The cabinetry looks like you can reconfigure it
internally, and the power transformer would likely provide any voltage you
could need. Judging by the presence of DIP IC's, this is probably from the
1970's.

Would love to hear the story behind this equipment, and any interior or
power-up photos.

Here's another example of orange/red filtering done the easy way in front
of 5680's. These were old freq analyzers from an early Ebay purchase.

I think that was a major part of it. Looking at ETL's documentation for

Hi all,
I picked up a ZIN-70 tube from Millclock a few weeks ago, and after
powering it up, I thought it would look nice with a red coating like that
on the Z568M. I assume the coating is some kind of lacquer, but I'm not
completely sure. Anyone know what it is and how it can be applied?
