Here is a 7JP4 crt and base ready for reatachment. Not only was the base loose but also some of the pins were broken and just floating loose from the bakalite. Using a vacuum desoldering tool helped to make the delicate task easier. Bad tubes such as 6L6s were an excellent sourse for exact replacment pins. My question what is the prefered adhesive?. In the mean time enjoy a closeup view.

Here's a thread with a similar subject:

In the thread I mentioned above, I advocated the use of RTV 3145 - there are other RTV formulas that will work, including RTV 162. Other folks have had luck with epoxy and rosin based formularies.

Cheers,

Findm-Keepm thanks for your imput and link,I will go findm the right stuff and get the job done.

Well the job will be done when the crt is back in it's original home.:thmbsp:

Excellent :thmbsp:
You did a really neat job with threading those pins through and that Philco is really sweet.

Thanks, i used a working motorola to test the crt and when i get some time i will work on the Philco.
