I think if the CRT is bad, I might try making the CRT from an early 80's solid state GE work in it. I would have to change the pinout of the CRT socket, drop the heater voltage to 6.3 and move the focus bleeder into the portacolor, but I think it would work. It has a 10VAHP22 CRT and it has external connections to each cathode, G1 and G2.
the later (1975) uses the 10vah or 10vad p22 tube.
btw the old portacolor crt's rejuve well.
i did 2 a few weeks ago for another collecter.
both were really crummy looking till i hit them with the 467
so anyone with that adapter with the switch on it can dust it off and put it to use
