well, anyway. rca2000 might maybe have a good one, he has to check. lets hope he does

Anyway, I am missing a tube, and I substituded one similar, which is probably the reason I dont have sound. I need the sams, and that one dude is going to scan them for me, which I appriciate that. Well, the reason my mind is still on that tube, is because I browse around, and i see you and a few other people say, I brought home another 21fjp22, or all 3 guns test good, and all of these people finding good CRTs, and im stuck in the cold, unable to get around to find any of this stuff

Don't worry, Mike. Two years ago, I didn't even know where to start looking for roundies. Now, they find me instead, and I'm up to my armpits in them! Good thing I use deoderant!

You've found #1... before you know it you'll have #2... then 3. Your folks will make you move out before you know it! They tell you to take all of those wood cabinets and build a house to live in, and fire up the toobs to keep warm! Your day will come, and when it does, you'll be da man!

I wouldn't mind sending you one of mine... I think I'll be getting at least a couple more during this week. I'm just afraid of shipping it to you and then it shows up busted after it's journey. That wud really suck!

the last picture tube someone sent me, it was a 16rp4, and I paid and made the guy go over to staples to have them box and pack it. it arrived, it took me two garbage bags, and an hour of packing penuts to just to get to the pins of the CRT. I knew it made it, and it did.


just get a dryer size box, and heavy rock solid packing, with about 6 inches from the face of the tube to the box, and 6 inches from the box to the CRT pins.

@Carmine: the car near the "Z.I.L."-111 is an "Z.I.L."-111G, and the last one is an "G.A.Z."-13 Ceiaka (Seagoul). "G.A.Z."=Gorvski Avtomobilni Zavod (Gorky Automotive Plant). "G.A.Z." manufactured the famous Soviet car M21 Volga.
Let's make a separate theard with old Eastern-Europe things-in the way will let mbates14 to resolve his problems.

I checked the crt today.
And it SEEMS to be pretty good-- all three guns seem to have reasonable emission, asuming this old b and k tester I am using is working right. Of course, I had to "wake up" the tube, after it's long slumber, but now, the guns seem to hold emission , pretty long, after I cut the filaments down, to say 3 or 4 volts.

Remember, the safety glass is going to need to be re-bonded-- something I have not done before, but others on this site have.

ok. I guess a blow dryer for a long period of time will loosen the glue, so I can take the glass off, and sit it back on the tube while I put the tube in the chassis right?

I dont have a pix tube tester/rejuvinator, so im not sure what "pretty good" is. Ive never tested a CRT before, so I dunno. I have a regular tube tester, but not CRT tube tester.

well, if you could travel to parkersburg west virginia (three hour drive from columbus), i know of a shop that has closed down a long time ago & recently a whole bunch of sets were set out to the front of the building, free to take away. i know that there were at least four "roundies" & two of them had new CRTs installed. i have no room at my house at all for them or i would have grabbed them all. afaik, they are all still there.

That was in NOVEMBER, and I really doubt there still there.
It was lucky, that I got anything, when I went over there.or, Are they still there today?

As for those roundies, the 3 Zenith ones, are not there any more, they are in my garage. I hope those are the ones, you talked with new crt's!!
