By the way, I have often wondered why RCA didn't try to do something to equalize the phosphor efficiencies in the 15GP22 (by reducing the green and blue efficiency with some sort of mixture of inactive material) in order to balance the gun currents better. There is probably some practical reason not to try it, but I don't know what that would be. "
This is an easy one to answer, Think of how contaminants will act over time and possibly really degrade the tube's performance. Also as the tube ages why degrade a color performance new, and then possibly have that gun weaken, and need to be turned up, you limit yourself. I think back then fighting short tube life was a concern always.
