Vacseal
Thanks Chuck!
What size bottle is needed to do one 15g? ( I assume the gallon pail size would be a bit over doing it :-) Kirk

vacuuseal
a small bottle is all you need,a pic of the seal on my tube is on petes website someplace..you just apply it around the metal to glass seal at the faceplate,i did several layers,and the stuff takes almost over a month to cure at room temp.. car body shop oven will speed it up..
so do you get any type of emmision on your tester from this tube? is the getter white?if i remember my tube had a weird glow but only on a older sencore tester,when i tested it on a new cr-7000 it was not there,but had perfect emission,this was when it was first being "wokeup" after asleep after many many years.. terry |

Update: this set's cabinet will finally return home within the next two weeks. The one side had to be completely remade as it was virtually caving in.
It's been at the restoration shop since July or so, I shudder to see the bill on this one.....

So Tim, have you decided on whether to use that Sanyo or Toshiba chassis? Those CT100 guts make a helluva wheelchock.

I think the LG chassis would fit. Or maybe the Apex.....or should he spring for a Sony...nahh... too hard to make that odd-shaped Trinitron tube fit in...now, where did I put that Boogie Bass ?!? Wouldn't that RULE on top of it ?-Sandy G.

Just remembered, I have a Daewoo that some kids thru a brick thru the tube (and it then fell in the bath tub while on) that you can have for the price of shipping. Should fit like a glove.....like one of OJ's gloves!

Their phone was disconnected. No forwarding number. Had the wife go down and the place was locked up and dark. Not looking good. So, I asked my father who lives close by to go by a couple times and see if anyone shows. Today, somebody did. It was the owner, who is indeed closing his doors and going out of business. I've got a new contact number, and will finally (fingers crossed) have my CT back in hand next week.

Yikes!
Tim,
Certainly not the post I was looking for. I can imagine that feeling in the pit of your stomach when you saw those locked doors. PLEASE! let us know when that cabinet is back in your hands. -Steve D.
