Think my probe is shot. The needle is sticking. looking for a replacement. What's the best way to adapt my sencore cr161 to read how bad this CRT actually is? Thinking of using some wires and alligator clips. What do you guys think? I know I need heater, ,R,G,B, g2 and g1 and ground right? I'm not aware of the stripe colors on the jig? Do I need to use those or just the common colors?

Its putting out a mediocre picture with sub brightness down, and screen drive turned all the way up surprisingly. just out of focus around the outer areas. Wont come in at all. Center of the raster is clear as a bell and the smearing is gone while over driving the G2.. But I can tell the tube is weak.

I know now that the filament voltage is 6.3v ang G1 is 50v. Would use a socket CR-37 but I dont have one.
