rejuvinated 7JP4

Here's a pic of that 7JP4 we rejuvinated. I don't have a before pic, but this tube really was too weak to watch except in a dark room. It's good to know something can be done with these electrostatic tubes.

The 16GP4 in the RCA 6T65 barely moved the needle at all on my B&K 420 when I first tested it, it tests good now, but I won't be done with recapping the chassis for another week or so, so we can't see the results yet.

The beltron also brought back to life the 21YP4 in my '54 Westinghouse, which I had already zapped with my B&K about a year ago, only to have it get weak again after a while, and was currently really too dim to watch even with the brightener I had on it. But I was watching it tonight only to loose horiz sync, with the HV to follow a few seconds later, so that set will have to go back on the bench after I get done with the RCA 6T65.
