Thanks.. I actually have a couple spares myself, black matrix CRTs in fact.
But it's like this... It will be years until I can perform a proper restoration on this TV. There are a lot of hack repairs, but it does work reasonably well now with the exception of the weak blue gun (and some other minor issues).
I'm giving this set a place in my living room, so I'd at least like to be able to turn it on now and then and have it produce a reasonable picture. I'd rather hold off on the CRT change if at all possible, and just do that at the same time as a full recap. Most of the time, it will sleep behind doors.
Right now, a little jolt is all I have time for. This seems like a perfect rejuv scenario.
