No, I can't get green no matter what I do. I tried adjusting the screen contols. And I can't really even get a full clean bright color of red or blue either. But, I do have one new bit of test gear, accquired just today. The B&K Precision 470 Picture Tube Tester.

I finally own a picture tube tester! A couple of the adapters are missing, but, the round color tube socket is here, and that's the one I need.

So, I read the manual for the tester, and hooked it up. I found that I was totally unable to set the G2 cutoff for green at all. Red and blue went OK. Then, I checked emissions. Red is in the BAD, green doesn't even register, and blue is in the ?? between GOOD and BAD, but just barely. Well, that explains it. This tube is completely shot.

So, this project is on hold, until I can find a picture tube.
