OK well I finally got a couple new tubes for this TV, and well, not sure the CRT is much good. It does have a full raster now, but no sound, VHF and UHF tuners work, but for the life of me I can't get it to tune a colour picture.
The G2 controls have to be almost all the way up to get any brightness, and the focus control won't dial in a sharp focus. All the filter electrolytics are still original and are cold after even a few hours of running.
The contrast control doesn't do anything, brightness as well has 3/4 of its control that just produces a black picture. So not terribly excited right now. Does anyone think I have any hope on a CRT rebuilder helping this tube? Its never had a brightener installed.
Some pics.
