2 RCA tube color sets & other stuff found.

The Sony may not be worth repairing after all. After playing with it, I noticed it has several problems.

1. No color (sometimes, it would pop in for a second).
2. Washed out picture.
3. faint red retrace lines even with the red G2 control turned down.
4. Some faint vertical bars on the left side of the screen.

The CRT checks about 50% on the red and green guns and about 40% on the blue. That halo looks more brown in person. It sort of looks like burnt phospher but I can't imagine what would have done it.

I do have the sams and may play with it a little more. This will probably be one I give my friend to sell at the flea market. He always needs an old set to make people turn their nose up.
