Eh
They are only claiming 1080i, and if those are seven inch tubes it is worth a hundred or two tops. New.

That is a Seleco SVD-500. Its a pretty basic rig. Its simular in capability to a Sony 1031-Q/QM but with brighter 07MS tubes and digital convergence.
Good lenses on it though.

It is an Italian made stuff. The 20MHz bandwidth is not too tempting. At least they have HD145s however they are clear, and the glycol is tinted.

And most of that is in those HD145 lenses.
I believe Seleco morphed into Sim2 when digital became the dominant display technology.

Tim is right - I just picked up a similarly-capable working ECP 4500+ [for parts] with ~8ish tubes (green has fungus, too) for $100. Today I plan to set it up to do side-by-side comparison with my existing ~400hr-tubed 4500 to see the loss of focus the ES tubes get after thousands of hours or so for myself.
Also, Curt, Tim, and others have written elsewhere that which 7"ES tubes may have minty-looking tubes AND have poor focus IF they were in standby for untold hours. Point being, you might suggest your friend look at the image quality first. Of course, for $100 1080i (even if soft) will likely look very passable.
Finally, I don't think new 7" tubes can be had except possibly for crazy money for re-done ones from Thompson in NY. Curt recently said he may have one NOS red and a set of decent ones. Obviously, spare parts may be super hard to find, if not impossible.
Hoarder alert: If you are in the US and get it to play with, I'd pay [$30 (case of good beer!) + shipping] for the set of tubes IF the tube faces appear minty AND are the 07MS style used by barco, ecp, and not G50 style.
Cheers,
Matt
