DO NOT forget....all of the 19 and 20 inch MINI-NECK tubes... They do NOT hold up well at ALL...and will not take rejuv much better than a Trinitron. Now--the 13" mini-necks...not bad..pretty long-life..I suspect it is because of those tiny gun structures inside of that thin neck...

ALSO..those 1st gen GE inline larger than 10" tubes for the mid-late 70's...the one with the big neck line a portacolor tube...I have seen a LOT of bad ones of those in the day...

And speaking of the Trinitron...not sure HOW they made them this way....but they just do NOT like to take rejuv...maybe for a few DAYS or so...then they look WORSE than before...
