well im recapping and doing what must be done on these sets befor running it and hoping the crt produces a good picture still because the crt is original but the red gun is weak. on 6.3 testing the red is weak and the green, not passing the 300 mark but blue just gets over the 300. the color setting on my crt tester is higher heater voltage and using that setting the blue and green pass but the red still dont make it to 300 its like 260, kinda low. anyone know a simple way to check the boost rectifier, rather then putting it all back together only to find its bad and pull it all out again. what defines a bad crt in terms of emission readings with this red gun being at around 260 and 300 is good i tried 2 testers and get the same result . i have a newer bk tester but not going to bother trying that one since i got the same result from the other 2 testers. would i have to try to balance the color drives in setup maybe keeping the green and blue lower to work better with the weak red ? i let it run for awhile to bake but not any better. as much as i dont like using the rejuv i did on the red and green on the lowest and tried it twice and it did not get any better so i left it alone now.

Chromix was the same as chromatone in Magnavox sets.
