1) yes. The colorama CRT actually appears darker and the Hi Lite seems as though it may have a finer dot pitch.. Call me crazy. Could this be true or were the matrix all the same through out the years? If this is true then I can understand why the Hi Lite is brighter.

2) I believe so. Both sets pust roughly 23 to 24 kv to the anode cap and 5 k or so focus voltage.

1) do the tubes have different optical transmission in the faceplate? (visibly different when the sets are off?) I presume this is what you mean by darker phosphors
2) are they being run at the same ultor voltage and beam current?
