As far as the RTV, DOW and GE make great RTV products - it's the come-later companies that you have to watch out for. Cheers,

I used epoxy...
I used ordinary two-part epoxy on the loose base of an 0D3 voltage regulator tube in a Hallicrafters SX-71 about fifteen years ago. This tube runs really hot but it's still solid.

All of my time with Hornets was with A and C birds - 4 deployments - Navy with the Cs and the Marines with the As. They were our number one customers. Same CAG for 3 of the deployments, and one VFA outfit was worst on all three. Sucketh maximus. Cheers,

The operation appears to be a success
Old base removed. I soldered fine extension wires to the tips of the CRT wires. That makes it a lot easier to thread through the new base pins. I found some Permatex RTV in the garage so that's what I used. The old resin cement is mostly intact and in good shape so I left it alone. That meant I really didn't need to use much glue after all. It's only been an hour but it's holding well. I'll know for sure in 24 hrs after it fully cures. Most importantly, it still test good |

Can't remember exactly - either Home Depot or Menards. I got both the lantern and mag light in a combo pack for a couple bucks. They're still running bright on the original batteries after 8 months. My only complaint is that they take AAA instead of AA. I've got loads of AAs lying around. |

I just got a rebuilt tube back from Hawkeye. Scotty did use a white RTV of some sort. There's definitely a little play in it, but not so much that I'm worried about the wires breaking.
