Yep, all three are out. Between which pins should there be continuity?

I THINK it is 1 and 14 for the fils..

PRAY..it is just bad connections in base !!

Can you tell if the getters look ok? If they DO--air is NOT likely a problem..

I hate to be the voice of doom and gloom but dead heaters in a 21AXP is likely due to the tube going to air, pull the yoke and see if the getter is white, It's located in a thin band between the inside Dag around the neck.

yep if the getters are white game over (hicks).

Here's what the getter looked like in my gone-to-air 21AXP22:

I'm going to guess that it's not the pins. This socket is on the neck very solidly. It'll be a couple days before I'm able to do any more work on it, as the set is still in the van, and I have no idea where it's going in the house. But then again, I didn't even know where it would go when I bought it

I have a few good all glass crts if you want to convert it for now till a metal crt comes around.

[Kamakiri]

What part numbers?

[Greg Davis]

Fascinating thread.

I suppose I jumped the gun when I suggested the tube may be good.

Phil, did you ascertain where the leak actual occurred on your 21AXP22A? Eg did you see any cracks or did it likely leak from the metal to glass seal?

Update on this set!

Well, since the picture tube had gone to air, I ended up making a trade deal on it, giving up hope of ever finding a picture tube for it. In fact, many of you saw it up on ebay as he decided to sell it after giving up hope himself.

This past weekend, an unexpected and special thing happened. A TV friend who I went to see (don't know if he wants to be named ), came across a BRAND NEW IN THE CARTON 21AXP22A! Dated 1969! With the original warranty card, and 100% perfect emission!

This particular guy (who is a man among men....really!) generously offered me the tube. One of those God or karma moments, depending on what you believe. I was astonished, but one problem....nothing to install it in

Through yet another swap deal, I'm getting my Arliss back, it's getting this brand new picture tube, and I'll have (hopefully) a working CTC-5....with a BRAND NEW picture tube!

So excited!!! It's like a dream come true

[IsthmusTV]

Incredible!! I can't wait to see the Arliss with a brand new 21AXP22A!

This gives hope to the rest of us that stuff like this is still out there

Congratulations!

Tim,

That's great news. Must be payback for some good deed you did somewhere in your past.

Wow that's great news! It's also cool to see the shiny red bell of that new 21AXP! Looking forward to seeing it all together and working in the future! See you at ETF:-)

Really glad to see this work out Tim. Would that be a prize set you could place "upstairs" for all eternity?
