Absolutely agree. Most of the vintage color sets I've picked up showed weak sleepy emission. the 8v overnight trick brought most back to life into the green.

As to Electronic M, yes I always thought that any heater without cathode use causes oxidation. I just dont understand why Sony would make a big deal of econoquick if the SS circuitry was a 8 to 10 second wait from dead cold anyway.

A far leap from a non instant on full vacuum tube tv that took 30 or more seconds to produce picture, in which yes, instant on reduced CRT life and vaccum tube life as well.
