CRT from a 27" Sony

[holmesuser01]

I'm going to be picking up a Sony KV-27TS27 set in the next few days.

In around 1993, it got a rebuilt Sears CRT, and looked awful all these years. I dont think the installer went to any trouble to set it up. It has splotchy color and is dark. The person giving it to me used it in a spare bedroom, so I know it has seen little use.

I dont plan to keep the whole set, and have nothing to test the CRT other than running it on a known good chassis.

I am thinking about keeping the CRT as a spare for my KV-27TS32. I dont have the set close enough yet to find out the CRT number, but I think it is a replacement for mine. My TS32 is starting to blink on start-up, so I know I am on borrowed time with it.
