Dave - Id take this any day over what happened to my RCA Hi-Lite 21FBP22 - neck just neatly sheared itself and went to air right where the blue lateral spring rests
Ugh...that really stinks. Was that tube a rebuilt, or one that had been in service and suddenly broke? I have not seen that happen yet, but I'm always careful about not making yoke and purity clamps too tight, and I have wondered about the tension on the blue lateral magnet, more than once.

If you think that sucks, then put your self in miniman82's shoes....He had that happen on a working prototype metal cone color CRT. The neck glass near the base one day randomly decided to fracture, and there went a few k dollars worth of it's value.

Just found out where this set came from and who owns it. This set belonged to Mrs. Rose Roti who lived on 1031 Woodbine Ave (cool house) in Oak Park IL. Sadly, Mrs. Roti passed in 1997. Wonder what she would think if she saw the set working again.

She'd probably be less surprised the set was living again than that she was.

You're probably right...

Turned the set on today after a month or two of sitting dormant. There is a complete absence of red. Red gun checks brilliant red screen and background react as normal. It is just that I have no red in the color spectrum. What could be the cause of this?
Resolved. X Demod tube had a burned out filament.

That's an example of why restored sets are always a "work in progress".

Hi, Very glad to know it was only a 12AZ7 gone bad. Just a little hint about color loss or intermittent, but only for the early production chassis with wax caps: wax dripping on the -Y output sockets can cause loss of color(s). Cleaned up the socket, and put in Orange Drops. Problem solved!
