I've bought TVs from Harry several times, along w/a CRT or 2, & while, yes, you WILL pay a bit more froim Harry, you also WILL get what you wanted, & it will be shipped PROPERLY-No worries about gettting made into Doodle-Dust. Harry, I Salute you !

I don't know where you get off telling everyone how great Harry Poster is. He advertised four CRTs on ebay and claimed that they were in the very good reading. I bought all four all the CRTs tested far below the Very Good reading one was dead one tested three on the B&K 465 meter. He told me he thought I would just put them in a set and if they worked that would justify a Very Good reading. Well he got a surprise when I tested the CRTs before I put them in a set. I tried to return three of them but he refused to take one back that I read as DEAD! The last one because he had miss labled it didn't get picked up for return. He blaims ME for it. I told him to never do business with me again PERIOD!!

Then why haven't you left him negative feedback for those four auctions? If this is true, don't you feel any obligation to warn others on eBay itself?

Yup, and for the pittance of 20$! The CRT was dead, but Nick, and Mark tested the tube for me and resurrected it. It now has emissions in the lower good zone with a brightener, and somewhere below the good zone without. Once I got back it pretty much came to life after a SLOW (read over cautious) power up on my variac. I've run it about 2-4 hours worth as it is, and the lytics (the ones not too close to the CRT for me to safely touch) have never gotten warm even after over an hour of (closely monitored) run time. :)

I'm not sure if I should leave it electrically as is and turn it on occasionally as one of those "ooh wow!" sets or recap it. My monochrome sets don't get used much anyway.
